Who we are
Block Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated
to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's
diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be
covered in a meaningful way.
We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council
meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by
traditional news media.
Ground-level coverage
Our neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a
story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building
relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level
approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate
portrayal of a neighborhood.
Stories that matter to you — every day
Since our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000
stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings
and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000
Chicagoans.
We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering
their neighborhoods, we are a part of them.
Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken
Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and
chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make
Chicago a better place for all.
