Supporting the Future of Community Journalism.
Historically, placing ads with local publishers has been fragmented and difficult to navigate. The Chi Media Exchange changes that by connecting public dollars directly to the local publishers best positioned to reach diverse audiences. This effort ensures that public information campaigns are efficient, equitable, and supportive of the long-term health of independent journalism.
