Exclusive storytelling

The Chicago Tribune is a national leader in watchdog and investigative reporting.

With a history of Pulitzer Prizes and other investigative journalism honors, the Tribune takes pride in exposing corruption, uncovering waste and standing up for the community. The Tribune shines a light on fraud, graft and greed at every level of city, suburban and state government.

Our unflinching editorials and provocative columnists lay blame directly at the feet of the politicians, business leaders and institutions that fail the citizenry. With vibrant narrative, gripping photography and an unwavering commitment to breaking news, the Tribune brings home the Chicago experience—warts and all.
