Public access to information is vital for creating and maintaining accountability and effectiveness in local government, yet local newsrooms like ours work under considerable financial strain. Our investigations and narrative productions are often years long, relying on a sustained quality of attention and careful relationship cultivation. The creation of our groundbreaking and widely-used data project, CPDP.co, for example, took years of investing in legal work, public records requests, and web development. That sustained commitment paid off. Today, seven years after its launch, the site remains a national model for the power of data transparency and a launching point for our reporting work, including our ongoing efforts to expand the site and accompanying reporting on the police to more cities in Illinois.
