The New York Times is launching its latest local edition in Chicago today (Nov. 20) using former top-level Chicago Tribune journalists in conjunction with the Chicago News Cooperative. The Chicago
area report will appear on Fridays and Sundays inside the NYT. It focuses on local news, policy, sports and culture.
The Chicago News Cooperative was co-founded on Oct. 22 by former Los
Angeles Times Editor Jim O'Shea, who also served as managing editor of the Chicago Tribune. Other journalists involved in the Chicago News Cooperative include former Chicago Tribune staffers Jessica
Reaves and Bill Parker. James Warren, a former Chicago Tribune managing editor, will write a regular column.
"Our intent is to roll out expanded reports in several key markets around the
country, working with local journalists and news organizations in a collaborative way," says Scott Heekin-Canedy, New York Times president.
