Illinois Times: Keeping our community informed for nearly 50 years.

Illinois Times has been providing high-quality reporting on local issues since 1975. Our mission is to inform our community about the things that matter, from uncovering corruption to celebrating the culture that makes our city great.

We are a free publication, and we rely on the support of our readers and advertisers to keep our doors open. Over the years, we have faced many challenges, including the disruption of social media and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we believe that quality, fact-based journalism is essential to a healthy democracy and more important now than ever before.

Without local news organizations, we would be less informed about the issues that affect our community. We would not know about what is happening behind closed doors, or the important work that is being done to make our city a better place.

Illinois Times has been chosen as a Report for America newsroom for 2025.

That means we will be able to add another full-time reporter to our staff, beginning in July. This is a two-year assignment and we need to raise $35,000 by July 7 to cover our portion of this new position. The rest is underwritten through a Report for America grant.
