Chicago Stories

This site was made possible by a partnership of Community Media Workshop and The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, which culminated during the Chicago NATO summit.  The idea was aimed at deepening coverage of social issues during the May 2012 Chicago NATO summit by providing resources to journalists covering the event.

Partners

Independent and nonpartisan, The Chicago Council is committed to influencing the discourse on global issues through contributions to opinion and policy formation, leadership dialogue, and public learning.

Community Media Workshop
Since 1989 Community Media Workshop has worked to diversify the voices in news and public debates by providing a unique mix of communications coaching for grassroots, arts and other nonprofit organizations and sourcing grassroots and community news for journalists.
