As reported a few weeks ago, Windy City Times recently joined the News is Out: A Queer Media Collaborative supported by the Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge, and managed by the Local Media Association.
We join other leaders in local LGBTQ+ news — Bay Area Reporter, Dallas Voice, Philadelphia Gay News, Q Voice News, Tagg Magazine, and Washington Blade — as part of this exciting new LGBTQ+ media venture. To provide the best possible experience for you, our readers, we're asking if you can spare a few minutes to share your thoughts with us by taking the survey at https://bit.ly/3rvtKZG.
Your responses will help News is Out in shaping our content to best serve our LGBTQ+ readers. In the survey, you will also be asked about participating in a focus group in the future. Please consider clicking "yes" and playing an even more significant role in helping us develop News is Out.
