New River City Journalism Fund stimulates local reporting

October 20, 2022 by Richard H. Weiss and Sarah Fenske

At a time when regional newspapers are cutting back and news deserts are emerging across the country, pioneering collaborative journalism efforts are growing to fill the void.

‘It’s not as bad as I thought’: An examination of how the pandemic impacted news organizations in eight Midwestern states

May 4, 2021 by Christopher Heimerman

One photojournalist’s story on the frontlines of the pandemic

March 24, 2020 by Mark Busch

At first, I wasn’t that concerned. The coronavirus seemed like other global health scares before it. As a photojournalist in northern Illinois, I had watched these stories unfold from a distance. Even my first assignment on Jan. 31 didn’t hint at what was to come. I documented how a local hospital was preparing to handle patients with an infectious disease such as Covid-19. … [Read more...] about One photojournalist’s story on the frontlines of the pandemic
