City Bureau 2023 Yearbook and Annual Report

ABOUT CITY BUREAU

City Bureau is a journalism lab reimagining local media. We do this by equipping people with skills and resources, engaging in critical public conversations and producing information that directly addresses people’s needs.

Drawing from our work in Chicago, we aim to equip every community with the tools it needs to eliminate information inequity to further liberation, justice and self-determination.

OUR PROGRAMS

Documenters

Based on the idea that journalism is for everybody, our Documenters program trains and pays people to monitor local government, contribute to the public record, and hold power to account. Documenters creates points of access that allow anyone to participate in the production of journalism while also establishing a powerful new mechanism of public accountability.

In Chicago we’ve trained more than 1,000 people to find, analyze, and share information relevant to their lives and communities. Since launching Documenters in Chicago in 2018, our work has served as a template around the U.S. for creating and strengthening local media through people-powered journalism.

Today the program has been adopted by local news and community organizations across the country through our Documenters Network. By developing shared resources and technology and creating spaces for communal learning across our network, we’re sustaining a national infrastructure that fosters civic learning and engagement. Documenters Network is made up of local organizations operating the program in urban metros, mid- and small-size cities, and rural communities, with a current presence in 14 states, 15 cities and growing.

Public Newsroom

The Public Newsroom is a free workshop series to discuss, debate, and deconstruct pressing issues facing Chicago, often co-presented with partner organizations making change in their neighborhoods. Participants gain new information, inspiration, connections, and tools for action through a consistent space for interconnected civic learning. Every event is a unique civic space where people come together to share their experiences around local issues and build community.

Civic Reporting Fellowship

Journalists of varying experience levels develop their reporting, community engagement, and leadership skills through supportive teams and close mentorship in our Civic Reporting Fellowship. Fellows publish their work in local media outlets and bring their work directly to the people it affects through interactive tools, workshops, and information resources. Our fellowship program has trained more than 150 civic reporters whose work has inspired policy changes, protests, and transformative conversations in communities across Chicago.

A LETTER FROM OUR CO-FOUNDERS

In 2023 we saw more evidence than ever of the widespread change we can foster by staying rooted in our mission.

City Bureau’s Documenters program grew to include sites in 15 regions, supporting local organizations with resources to equip people, inform communities, and thrive. Awards aren’t the measure of our work, but it was a significant moment for us when Documenters.org — our online platform that hosts Documenters’ notes on public meetings and data found nowhere else — received the Sunshine Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for making contributions to open government in Chicago and across our network. City Bureau’s work was once seen as marginal to the journalism world. Today it’s clear that a new more inclusive, democratic approach to local media is taking hold across the country.

In our hometown of Chicago our team has been hard at work connecting with communities during a dynamic era in Chicago politics, hosting a Public Newsroom on how to support migrants, breaking down the city’s budget, and supporting local Documenters covering City Council proceedings and other public meetings. In the fall we published a groundbreaking investigation into Chicago’s missing person cases showing how poor data collection by police doesn’t reflect the reality of what happens when Black women and girls go missing in Chicago, which gained the attention of lawmakers looking for solutions.

We’re in a key moment in our movement to democratize the tools of journalism, and in this past year we thought deeply about how City Bureau can continue to evolve its structure to support our work moving forward.

That’s why we embarked on City Bureau’s first-ever search for a single Executive Director, a shift informed by input from our staff, partners, and careful consideration of the leadership we need to further our commitment to community-led innovation. We knew we were looking for a collaborative leader who could help our team think big about how City Bureau will remain a strong leader and partner in the national movement for participatory media.

We’re thrilled to have found that leader in Morgan Malone. Along with a deep understanding of City Bureau’s work, Morgan brings an incredible ability to focus, operationalize, and build relationships around our ambitious vision. As a community organizer, local government official, and someone who has designed and managed equitable processes to move massive projects forward, Morgan’s experience resonated with our approach to enacting change.

We’re so thankful for our strong community of supporters and excited to continue innovating and advancing local media together.

A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

I’m so thrilled to be here!

As I step into the role of Executive Director, I’ve been overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to lead an organization that’s truly transforming how local media works and igniting change on a national scale. The passionate dedication of City Bureau’s community to our mission and the outpouring of support have been truly inspiring.

Throughout my career, I’ve been guided by considering who I want to be as a thoughtful and intentional neighbor, and City Bureau’s values around community collaboration resonate strongly with my own approach to building social infrastructure and cohesion. I wanted to join City Bureau as a leader because I’ve long been a fan — I attended my first Public Newsroom event in 2019 and gained deep respect for City Bureau’s approach to programming during my time as an organizer, government official, and community developer.

City Bureau has been a leading innovator in local media for eight years, connecting Chicagoans with impactful civic programming across a range of issues and shaping the participatory media movement with intentional partnerships across the country.

Today we face a pivotal juncture in the history of democracy, and I want to underscore our commitment to scaling our impact both locally and nationally through the proven model of our programs.

With your participation and support, I’m confident that we will continue to make meaningful progress towards a more engaged and equitable society.

I’m honored to lead the organization into its next era, and I look forward to collaborating with you along the way.

Morgan Malone Executive Director

CULTIVATING OUR MOVEMENT IN CHICAGO

In 2023, we expanded our Chicago Programs team, deepened our local connections, and heightened the impact of our programs and reporting.

In November, our Senior Reporter and Special Projects Manager Sarah Conway, in partnership with trina reynolds-tyler from the Invisible Institute, released Missing in Chicago, a seven-part investigative series that exposes systemic patterns of mismanagement in Chicago police’s handling of missing person cases, which have disproportionately affected Black women and girls.

Published with the Chicago Reader, South Side Weekly, The TRiiBE, and Word in Black (a groundbreaking collaboration of 10 legendary Black news publishers), the investigation came at a critical moment in Illinois as elected officials work to address Chicago’s missing persons crisis. We’re especially proud of how the investigation emerged from Sarah and trina’s deeply engaged reporting practice. More than 200 Chicagoans volunteered to review police complaints in the data analysis process, and over two years, Sarah and trina built relationships with dozens of loved ones, neighbors and local advocates impacted by the missing persons crisis to center their narratives and experiences. As we go to print with this report, we’ve just learned that Missing in Chicago won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting. We’re grateful for this honor and the opportunity to reach even more people with this important investigation and its resources.

Reflection is always central to our process, and we relaunched our Civic Reporting Fellowship in the fall with a new design and curriculum based on feedback from previous fellows. We piloted this new and improved program model, introducing a smaller cohort of reporters to do more extensive reporting on Chicago’s South and West Sides and ensure a more intentional and impactful level of engagement and community connection.

Chicago Documenters have been absorbed in the mechanics of local government, covering the mayoral and aldermanic elections, following the new elected police district councils charged with improving police accountability and

Documenters makes you realize all the barriers we build to journalism don’t have to be there and showed me how we really could do something that works for the public good. If there are problems, my immediate thought is: “What are we going to do about it?” So, I came home and built a newsroom, because we clearly needed one.”

community relations, and sharing their insights with Chicago communities. To do this crucial work, our team designed new workshops and assignments for Documenters to generate information and develop their skills.

On the ground, our Engagement team created new opportunities to foster community in Bronzeville and around the South and West Sides of Chicago. From facilitating six Public Newsrooms to organizing welcoming community events throughout the year such as the Summer Block Party, the Pumpkin Pop-up, and our monthly City Bureau Social Hour, the team helps Chicagoans connect through civic learning and community building throughout the year.

I think being part of the City Bureau network has given me a sense of pride, community, and a resource I can lean on and come to whenever I’m feeling stuck and need advice, or whenever I want to really get my ear to the ground in what Chicagoans are doing and feeling. The collaborative experience of the fellowship was invaluable. My confidence really grew and my love of writing and storytelling was really nurtured!

Missing in Chicago Spotlight:

How the investigation is equipping people to act

In February 2024, parents, teachers and administrators at John B. Drake Elementary School in Bronzeville invited us to present our Know Your Rights: Police Reports guide, which we created as a companion to our Missing in Chicago investigation.

It was the grade school of 14-year-old Takaylah Tribitt.

The room was full of adults, including a teacher and neighbors who knew Takaylah, still grappling with her disappearance and subsequent murder. They wanted current students to know the adults in the room could support them with the type of care Tribitt herself needed. It reminded me of an astute observation from Tribitt’s best friend and Drake Elementary alum, 18-year-old Tamiya Scott: “She needed somebody to actually motivate her, not just 14-year-old kids,” Scott had told us. “She needed more guidance from an adult that would stick on her and tell her what is really the right thing and what is not.”

Towards the end of our presentation, one school administrator shared with us that she used our Know Your Rights guide when navigating a difficult conversation with Chicago police, who, she said, initially refused to allow her to file a missing person report for her niece. She referenced language in the guide to affirm her right under Chicago police policy and state law to file a report.

Our investigation shed light on the trauma and lack of closure associated with the missing persons crisis. But stories like hers show how essential it is to also be intentional in providing resources for people most impacted so they’re equipped to find the answers they need.

2023 was a big year for fostering deep partnerships through our national work and creating a strong foundation to make structural changes in civic media in the years to come.

The energy building around this movement was on full display this summer at the 2023 Documenters Network Summit, where we brought together staff from every site in the network to build relationships and trust, identify our common challenges and opportunities, and experience moments of joyous connection. The Documenters program saw major growth in 2023, with sites launching in Dallas, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Akron, Gary, San Diego, and Spokane. From plans to weave Documenters into 2024 election coverage in Cleveland, to shedding light on the barriers to accessing public meetings in Dallas, to new newsrooms launching with Documenters at the center, sites across the country are contributing to the momentum of this movement and shifting how communities access information on important government proceedings.

With more U.S. cities entering the fold, we’re poised to expand the reach of our Documenters program, maintaining our commitment to investing in resources and innovative leadership to fulfill our vision of meeting the distinct information needs of counties across the country.

GROWING AND ROOTED IN OUR VISION

City Bureau has always been focused on a bold vision for structural change: reimagining journalism as an accessible civic act and a tool for building community power. And we know that to do this work we need to sustain an intentional and reflective community with one another.

2023 was a year of transition and transformation as our staff grew by 25% and we launched a search for a new Executive Director.

To support our team through these transitions we gathered for retreats several times throughout the year to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Amid a lot of change, these moments in community helped us to align our actions and day-to-day work with City Bureau’s ongoing values. We were able to coalesce around our shared vision, working slowly and methodically to build trust along the way.

As we went through a search process for a new Executive Director, the staff shared feedback collectively to shape the job description and hiring process. Over the past year, we also established two staff-led working groups to generate solutions for better cross-department collaboration, scaling our work, accountability systems, and more. These committees supported greater transparency around decision-making and collaboration, so that our processes remain inclusive while the organization evolves.

Marilyn Carteno, Events and Outreach Coordinator

In 2023, our Engagement team collaborated intentionally with our Chicago Documenters and Editorial teams to co-design our Public Newsroom event series. By learning more about the participants across our program areas, we were able to build new relationships with organizations and people doing critical work in Chicago. I’m especially proud of the Public Newsroom we hosted with Christ Lutheran Church in Albany Park, which centered on neighborhood volunteers whose church became home to five migrant families as they helped them adjust to living in the U.S.

India Daniels, Civic Reporter, Chicago Documenters

2023 was definitely a year of planning and building for the Chicago Documenters team as we took the time to improve current workflows and policies. We’re excited to roll out new assignments and pathways for Chicago Documenters to contribute to the news gathering process, further develop media literacy, gain fact-checking and copyediting skills, and dig deeper into their questions about local government and processes.

Jerrel Floyd, Engagement Reporter

Over this past year, I really enjoyed the journey and spirit of revamping the Civic Reporting Fellowship. It was great to connect with past fellows and current Documenters to learn how changes to our fellowship program could better meet their needs and interests. In fall 2023, we piloted a new fellowship program based on their feedback and dreams. This looks like a longer fellowship cycle where we move through sequences of assignments and reporting at a more manageable pace, allowing us to go deeper in the work. And our fall fellows had the opportunity to facilitate small group discussions related to their reporting through one of our Public Newsrooms. We learned a lot from experimenting with a revised fellowship program, and I’m excited to see how we further innovate in the next cycles.

Max Resnik, Director of Network Services, Documenters Network

This past year we welcomed four stellar new members to our team to meet the needs of the growing network of sites around the country. Our new colleagues bring experience with software development, community organizing, and local reporting that make me feel inspired every day. I’m also incredibly excited to see all of the ways that our new network sites are adapting and remixing Documenters assignments and workflows in their communities.

Yasmin Zacaria Mikhaiel, Digital Producer

In 2023, we were able to elevate the look and feel of City Bureau materials across our print and digital platforms. I’m especially proud of the video series we produced to illuminate some of the stories behind our Missing in Chicago investigation. Collaborating with the artists in our community to produce video content that is bold, can reach more people, and feels so Chicago has been a dream.

Eli Ramirez, Operations and Finance Manager

I’m proud of the Operation Team’s relentless efforts at internal examination. Questioning every system and policy leads to exciting, fulfilling collaboration.

A LETTER FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR

Every organization has a life cycle. I’m proud to have been able to witness and steward City Bureau through its own intentional evolution during the past year as we hired our first singular Executive Director.

City Bureau was started in 2015 in Chicago by four co-founders who set out to help solve the structural crisis in local journalism. They brought a spirit of creativity and critical inquiry to both an industry and a city facing deep inequities. As a board member, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting them in growing City Bureau from a small, all-volunteer collective to a stable nonprofit with a talented, committed, and multi-disciplinary staff who are working to democratize journalism through innovative participatory-media programs here in Chicago, as well as in 14 other cities across the country.

As City Bureau has grown, we’ve learned that to keep your values consistent, you sometimes have to change your practices. The co-leadership model that served City Bureau well in its early years is evolving to better serve a more complex and growing organization. Over the past year, we embarked on a search for the organization’s first singular Executive Director. We set out to find a leader with a personal relationship to our mission, responsive and accountable leadership skills, experience developing and implementing strategy that achieves systemic change, and stellar communication and presentation skills.

We are thrilled that we found that person in Morgan Malone. Malone brings all of what we were searching for along with extensive understanding of the inner workings of civic institutions. Her strategic vision and commitment to inclusive processes make her the ideal leader to guide City Bureau’s next era of impact.

City Bureau is continuing with the same spirit of creativity and community-driven innovation, and we are so excited that Malone adds new perspective and energy to our next phase.

We can’t wait for the work we’ll do in partnership with you.

Sincerely,

Sheila Solomon, Board Chair
