Chicago Matters: Beyond Borders

Now in its 17th year, Chicago's award-winning multimedia public affairs series returns in 2007 with Chicago Matters: Beyond Borders to explore the impact of immigration in Chicago and the region.
Examining Health

What do eastern remedies and western medicine, clinical medical ethics and Asthma have in common? They were some of the topics explored in Chicago Matters: Examining Health.
Inside Housing

In 2002's Chicago Matters series, Inside Housing, our reports follow Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) residents on the move, take the measure of class conflict in the south suburbs, and profile a family that can't make their mortgage. This year, in a takeoff on the personal essay, writer Alex Kotlowitz is producing Chicagoans' personal stories about home, told in their own words.
Money Talks

Chicago Matters: Money Talks, Chicago's award winning, multimedia public affairs series explores the role of money in the Chicago region and the profound affect money has on every aspect of our everyday lives.
Our Next Generation

Chicago Matters: Our Next Generation explores how society is influenced by—and how the world looks to—local youth. Civic life, economic markets, popular culture, the educational system, even the built environment—all are being changed in subtle and dramatic ways by today's young people.
Valuing Education

Chicago Matters: Valuing Education is an examination of education in the Chicago region. The fall installment of reports, documentaries, personal stories and more originally aired September 25-October 5, 2006.
