Chicago

The latest news of the political, economic, cultural and sports life of Chicago and Illinois. Our authors follow the local agenda 24 hours a day. They analyze industrial potential, attend theater and film premieres and miss no major sport event of State. Chicago Morning Star is among the first to tell readers about the latest news and resonant events in Chicago and its suburbs. We are closely following the criminal chronicle and the police activities in the city and the State. Additionally, our authors keep an eye on the city social life and the observance of citizens’ rights and freedoms. Chicago Morning Star seeks to provide the most objective and impartial position on any issues of our city’s diverse life. We love Chicago and its history, so one of our activities is to remind citizens about the historical events that influenced the formation of the city and State and remain important today. In our news we seriously consider and have a special place for the life of national minorities and diasporas who live in Chicago.
