The Kidler: December 2024 Issue
An investigation into the power of Sal Becovic, one of the largest landlords on the Northside, and a conversation with Brenda Garcia, who was fired from Insomnia Cookies by management after she refused to reopen the store in the wake of a shooting that injured two people.
WHAT IS THE KIDLER?
The Kidler is a local paper for the Far Northside of Chicago covering the news in Uptown, Edgewater and Rogers Park. We're a group of passionate, involved teens who do the hard work of fact-based journalism because it's what we love.
In the past, Kidler issues have served as the most exhaustive reporting on local aldermanic races, and connected local issues like rising lake levels and homelessness to city-wide struggles. In a period marked by the decline of quality, hyper-local journalism, the Kidler is growing, and connecting populations that lack community engagement back to their neighborhoods.
The Kidler is committed to uncovering and airing injustice and spreading the movements that would go unnoticed by the mass media.
