Public Media is a Public Good

Nonprofit independent news is essential to the Chicagoland area because it provides everyone with high-quality and trustworthy news that isn’t influenced by shareholders, big corporations or the government. We believe our communities are stronger and more connected when everyone has access to the reliable information they need to make informed decisions.

That’s why, in 2022, the Chicago Sun-Times democratized access to the news and transitioned from a for profit to a not for profit news organization, making our reporting freely available and accessible to everyone in our community.

The Sun-Times is now community-supported, which means that the news you read each day is funded by readers like you.

Donating to the Sun-Times empowers our team of reporters and journalists to keep you informed, hold power to account and stay connected to what’s happening across our great city and region.

Please support news that’s for, from, and about Chicago with a donation of any amount. When you do, you’ll help keep high quality journalism free and available to all, regardless of their ability to pay for it.

Thank You

— The Chicago Sun-Times team
