CHICAGO — The Chicago Reader is at imminent risk of closure, the paper’s publisher announced Tuesday.

The Reader Institute for Community Journalism, which publishes the Chicago Reader, announced the layoffs of six non-union employee staff positions due to an “urgent need” to reduce costs to avoid shutting down the publication.

The announcement came in a post shared on the Reader’s website on Tuesday.‘We’ve lost two amazing animals:’ Harbor seal, Chilean flamingo at Lincoln Park Zoo die from bird flu

According to the announcement, since the sale of the Reader by Sun-Times Media in 2018, a combination of financial losses, operational challenges and external pressures has put the Reader at imminent risk of closure.

In addition to the layoffs, it was also announced that Reader Institute for Community Journalism (RICJ) CEO Solomon Lieberman had submitted his resignation to the RICJ board of directors on Monday.

“We are deeply grateful for Sol’s hard work and dedication during his tenure, and wish him the very best in his future endeavors,” Chicago Reader publisher Amber Nettles said.

The Reader, which bills itself as “Chicago’s alternative nonprofit newsroom,” has faced a handful of challenges over the past two decades, including several ownership changes and a transition to a biweekly print schedule prompted by a steep drop in advertising revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic.5 Chicagoland natives to perform with the ‘The President’s Own’ Marine Band at Trump’s inauguration

Despite the imminent risk of closure, leaders at the Reader said they see a path forward and plan to increase donor outreach and crowdfunding campaigns, secure advance payments and Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) for partnerships and advertising as well as expand a revenue-focused strategy with “integrity and urgency.”

Leaders said they encourage open communication and welcome questions as the Reader navigates the changes. Read More At WGN TV Chicago

Spread the love In the quest to combat cancer, a disease that remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, the medical community continually seeks innovative and alternative treatments. Here’s an overview of several unconventional approaches currently under investigation or discussion: Ivermectin and FenbendazoleIvermectin, traditionally an antiparasitic drug, has been studied for its potential antitumor effects. Research has shown that it can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and modulate pathways like EGFR/ERK/Akt/NF-κB, potentially reversing drug resistance in cancer cells. Similarly, fenbendazole, another antiparasitic, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment. There are anecdotal reports and some preclinical studies suggesting it might inhibit cancer cell growth. Both drugs have been part of protocols like the Joe Tippens Protocol, where they are combined with other supplements and dietary changes, showing some promise in case studies. Tata Institute’s Breakthrough in Cancer Drug DevelopmentThe Tata Institute has been at the forefront of cancer research, developing innovative drugs. One notable breakthrough involves targeting cancer cell metabolism with drugs that can selectively kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Although specific details on the drug are sparse due to ongoing research, this approach aims at disrupting cancer’s energy supply, a novel strategy in cancer therapy. Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs)Small extracellular vesicles are nanometer-sized vesicles released by cells that can transfer molecular information between cells, including from cancer cells to healthy ones, influencing tumor progression. Research into sEVs focuses on their potential as biomarkers for early cancer detection and as carriers for therapeutic…
