Chicago Public Media originated as the home to WBEZ, Chicago’s NPR news source. WBEZ’s award-winning journalists ask tough questions, dig deep for answers and expose truths that spark change and foster understanding. Its programming includes local, national and international news, and a wide-ranging portfolio of popular podcasts and urban alternative music station, Vocalo.
In 2022, Chicago Public Media acquired the Chicago Sun-Times, forming the largest nonprofit local news organization in the nation. Winner of eight Pulitzer Prizes, the Chicago Sun-Times is known for its hard-hitting investigative reporting, in-depth political coverage, timely behind-the-scenes sports analysis and insightful entertainment and cultural coverage.
Together under the banner of Chicago Public Media, WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times reach more than 3.5 million people each week across the Chicago area through broadcast, print and digital platforms.
