Chicago journalism has been pummeled by job losses, but it’s also a center for news experimentation and enthusiasm. In this article, Medill takes a look at a city that’s “a petri dish for the re-invention of news media.” 1/7 https://t.co/fvzALYJShz

Today @chicagotribune published our special report exploring the treatment of women employed at Chicago radio stations.

We interviewed three dozen women about the culture they said they have endured in what many described as an industry dominated by men.

As of today, I've been producing &/or coordinating CKUT's local evening news show Off The Hour every single Friday for the past year. It's brought with it every emotion imaginable and today it includes an extra dose of gratitude :)

I like to encourage the folks that I work with, especially younger reporters on our team, to take care of themselves and spend time not working. Read a book. Go horseback riding or watch Star Trek reruns (ok that’s me).

@CHatfieldJourn @BallState Woooo go Christine! Congrats to you

@guywstephens Lol all of those versions listed could apply. She's a handful, but for some reason they're still best friends

[Ka’nhehsí:io Deer @Kanhehsiio]

Today is #RedDressDay, a day to honour and raise awareness of MMIWG. Just wanted to share a reminder about the national inquiry's calls for justice that outline steps all media can take to help end violence against Indigenous women and girls.

[Sarah Jesmer @SarahJesmer]

@etiennelaj Thank you!! Honestly can’t believe we both walked this path at the same time at one point, feels so long ago

[Sarah Jesmer @SarahJesmer]

@guywstephens Always the kindest messages. Thank you Guy!
