    • About Us

    Founded in 2013, South Side Weekly NFP is a nonprofit newsroom dedicated to producing local journalism that is for, by, and about the South Side of Chicago. 

    Over the past decade, the Weekly has grown from a volunteer-run newsroom to a nonprofit with eleven employees and a large network of freelance contributors. In 2022, the Weekly merged with the Hyde Park Herald, the oldest community newspaper in Chicago. Together, the papers reach tens of thousands of readers each week with award-winning original reporting on politics, education, housing, the arts and more.

    South Side Weekly NFP is also dedicated to supporting and developing emerging journalists and storytellers through a variety of training opportunities including free workshops and an editor training fellowship. Former contributors have gone on to work for local outlets like Block Club Chicago, the Triibe, WBEZ, and the Chicago Reader, as well as national outlets like the Washington Post and the New York Times.
