The Chicago Reporter is a monthly periodical based in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Founded in 1972, it covers poverty and race issues.[1] It was founded by John A. McDermott, who sought to create "the nation's first publication devoted to analyzing and investigating local racial issues."[2] In 1974, its yearly budget was $120,000, most of which was paid by the Ford Foundation.[1] In 2016, sister publication Catalyst, focused on education, merged into The Chicago Reporter.[3]
The interim editor and publisher is Glenn Reedus.
