About

ChicagoTalks.org is a non-profit, local news source for Chicago and its many neighborhoods. Our stories come from all corners of the city; our reporters are young journalists learning to cover their communities and others who want to make sure the many uncovered stories get told. To become a citizen journalist, email us or just call in your news to 312 436-1820 (our Google Voice number.)
