Since 1975, Illinois Times has been publishing thoughtful news coverage and analysis, lifestyle features, arts and entertainment reporting and more every Thursday. While IT began as an “alternative weekly,” readers increasingly rely on us for coverage of both local and statewide news that they can’t find elsewhere. We’ve won recognition for our investigative journalism, garnering statewide and national awards, and publish longform stories that are not otherwise available in this market.
We continued publishing weekly during the pandemic even though our business, like so many others, suffered a significant financial blow as a result. We also rolled out a subscription program that allows you to receive first-class delivery of the IT print edition to your home or office. So whether you want to insure you don’t miss an issue or simply want to be a friend of the paper, we hope you’ll consider subscribing.
How you spend your money matters and supporting local businesses is the best way to help support and preserve our community.
Michelle Ownbey, publisher
