We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic writeup about the McKinley Park News just published by Inside Publications and its three weekly newspapers -- Inside-Booster, News-Star and Skyline -- reaching 30,000 people across Chicago's North Side.

In the article "Show us the money! Your friendly local media kicks off fundraiser Oct. 3" in the September 28 - October 4, 2022, edition of the papers, the McKinley Park News gets an in-depth look at our methods, mission, hopes and future plans. (One bit of errata to correct is that I and my wife have only one child, but it's certainly felt like more at times!)

Inside Publications, along with the McKinley Park News, are members of the Chicago Independent Media Alliance (CIMA), a wonderful local news association that's getting ready to launch our 2022 fund-raiser from October 3 through October 17. You'll be hearing more about this soon, as well as reading our profile of Inside Publications and its publisher, Ron Roenigk.

Thanks again to Inside Publications for their wonderful writeup of us and the astounding CIMA organization that has already helped the McKinley Park News so much. You can learn more about CIMA and all our members at indiemediachi.org .

Impressive! I did not comprehend all of the article, but view it as positive for you. Congratulations.

Hi Diane: Thank you! It's indeed been good for us, as well as the chance I've had to meet their publisher personally through the Chicago Independent Media Alliance. Since I'm working by myself most of the time, it's lonely, and I've really appreciated the chance to "talk shop" with fellow Chicago journalists, including Inside Publications Publisher Ron Roenigk.
