Local news organizations have found new ways to adapt when faced with national crises. Even though many are moving towards digital journalism, even the most successful publications still struggle to compete with the array of online resources that have appeared since.

These digital newcomers often specialize in niches and use social networks to distribute their content. In addition, they experiment with various approaches for reporting and community involvement. They have also opened up new opportunities for writers, some of whom are able to monetize their works via services such as Substack. This has led to the emergence of a new type of journalist - one who no longer must adhere to one publication but can build up subscriber bases for newsletters of any topic they wish.

Digital startups serve specific needs within communities such as the South and Western sides of New York City. Others are trying to hold politicians more accountable for their policy; some experiments have even received funding through philanthropy.

McCormick Foundation, a nonprofit foundation, is leading the charge to improve local journalism. It has partnered with Chicago newsrooms to research audience and develop strategy through its Metro Media Lab. Furthermore, they have collaborated with Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism's Chicago campus staff in developing their skills further.

Chicago residents in all regions felt that the news media could be improved, but there were notable regional differences. Certain neighborhoods felt misrepresented and underrepresented by the mainstream media. There were also gaps in coverage for specific issues like crime and law enforcement.

Chicago's media organizations also have an innovative ecosystem of news, where both for-profit companies and nonprofits operate experimental news programs. Others are working to establish trust between journalists, and the communities they serve by setting up shop in these areas and ensuring that traditionally underserved groups receive written and voice coverage.

Block Club Chicago, a Chicago-based publication, published a report on Adam Toledo's shooting by the police just months after it took place. Yet they took special care to protect their readers from traumatizing them with graphic video footage.

The TRiibe online news outlet is building trust among Black Chicagoans. It was created by three Northwestern University Alumni who were tired that Chicago was portrayed in mainstream media, as "the crime capital". They wanted to give their community a voice and empower them with the ability to control its narrative. TRiibe's efforts have paid off. The content on the site has been shared widely across social networks, leading to civic involvement initiatives in Chicago.
