The Chicago Reader is joining the Noisy Creek network!
We have big news! The Chicago Reader is joining Noisy Creek, a media company that’s working to bolster alternative weeklies and keep them thriving. This national network includes our friends with shared roots across the country: The Stranger in Seattle and the Portland Mercury in Portland, Oregon. After facing an immediate cash deficit earlier this year and turning to our community, we’re building a sustainable business model that creates strength in reader and philanthropic support.
With this news, we are also introducing Noisy Creek’s event discovery platform, EverOut, as well as entertainment ticketing service Bold Type Tickets to Chicago. By diversifying our revenue sources, we will create the foundation for us to thrive
