Chicago Cooperative Starts Publishing in N.Y. Times
The Chicago News Cooperative, a new, non-profit news organization, has started publication as a supplement in the New York Times. The cooperative consists of several Chicago Tribune alumni such as editor, James O’Shea.
Judging from CNC’s first few articles, the quality looks pretty good. Hopefully, there will be more articles like ‘Police Struggle to Navigate New Gang Landscape‘ and ‘Company Piles Up Profits From City’s Parking Meter Deal’ and fewer articles like ‘Modern Art for Modern Museumgoers,’ which due to its relative lack of news gives the impression that it was written to meet a quota for arts stories.
