Four pages in this week’s Chicago Reader give thanks to the more than 2,400 people and businesses who contributed fund-raising drive for the local newspaper. Hundreds of others contributed anonymously, and we thank them as well. You can pick up copies of the paper at nearly 1,200 distribution outlets (see chicagoreader.com/map, papers are being delivered through Friday this week), and you can also download a PDF of the entire paper here: chicagoreader.com/20190331.pdf.
Kudos to the new publisher, Tracy Baim for these efforts! And if you squint, you’ll see White Mystery signed up as a Chicago Reader “Founder” in the list above. You can support the Chicago Reader too, just go to chicagoreader.com/support.
