Public Narrative


Public Narrative – founded in 1989 as the Community Media Workshop—is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago that connects neglected communities with the media to promote better news coverage.

The stated aim is to be a catalyst for change in an informed society.

"We believe that a free and informed press, as well as an educated public, are the cornerstones of democracy," according the organization's website at publicnarrative.org

Among Public Narrative's programs:

Public Narrative's president since 2014 has been Susy Schultz, a journalist, educator and social advocate.

"Our work has always been to give voice to the voiceless in the city’s neighborhood," she said, "and to help ensure those in the media and those in power listen."

Public Narrative has its headquarters at Columbia College Chicago.
