Launching March 5, 2007, Chicago Matters will feature year-long, original programming by our multimedia partners: WTTW 11, Chicago Public Radio, the Chicago Public Library, and The Chicago Reporter.

Chicago Public Radio will air feature reports, essays, personal stories and two documentaries on Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Eight Forty-Eight and Worldview.
WTTW 11 will broadcast segments on its nightly newsmagazine Chicago Tonight. Segments will broadcast in a variety of formats including in-studio discussions and field reporting.
The Chicago Reporter will publish three investigative stories, one in May and two in September, with additional web-only reports.
The Chicago Public Library will provide special book and media collections on the topic of immigration in a number of their branches, host community forums around the region and present two book series, featuring four author discussions/readings in May and four author discussions/readings in September.
