Chicago has long debated giving CPD broader curfew powers But an examination of how police already use those powers raises a more basic question: What does curfew enforcement actually accomplish, where is it concentrated, and who bears the consequences? blockclubchicago.org/2026/09…

Existing City Curfew Laws Enforced Largely In Black And Latino Communities, Data Shows

While some alderpeople push for tougher curfew laws, many parents and teens say the current approach is unfair and ineffective.

ICE raids overtook Chicago for months. Tribune reporters chased the story day and night - Poynter

The coverage, awarded a Pulitzer last week, relied on deep community trust as reporters tracked Chicago’s ICE raids in real time

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

A soldier was trapped in a kill zone for 177 days. His wife’s voice was his lifeline.

While Roman Mongold, a Ukrainian soldier, was pinned down and surrounded by the enemy, he managed to trade voice memos with his wife thanks to a commander’s help.

One thing I would love to communicate to rich progressive donors is you have to fund ACTUAL JOURNALISM. All the progressive "content creators" rely on actual journalism done by journalists who are all getting laid off. Please fund journalism not just "our own kind of propaganda."

my mentor told me good reporters are hard to manage because they’re not good at listening to authority. and she’s right. to expect a reporter not to be defiant is like expecting to get records back immediately after requesting them. it ain’t going to happen.

I so enjoy executives who choose to run a journalism thing and then are shocked (defiant??? journalists??? nooooo) by the type of people who tend to do this job

I am among the McClatchy journalists withholding my byline from AI-generated content. I cover sensitive stories that should never be repackaged or altered in any way by artificial intelligence. Whether the story is about sexual abuse or immigrants caged at Alligator Alcatraz, our journalists take great care to ensure that their material is accurate, fair and conveys invaluable aspects of humanity that AI simply can't do.

New: McClatchy journalists at newspapers in 4 states are now withholding their bylines from A.I.-generated content as tensions grow over a "content scaling agent" tool that the company rolled out nytimes.com/2026/05/01/busin…

Reporters at McClatchy Withhold Bylines in Dispute Over A.I. Content

Journalists at newspapers like The Miami Herald and The Sacramento Bee are refusing to let the chain use their names on summarized articles generated by a new A.I. tool.
