Chicago Reader owner steps down amid employee protests, freeing alternative newspaper to go nonprofit
Chicago Reader co-owner Len Goodman and three board members stepped down Tuesday amid protests from employees, freeing the embattled alternative newspaper to transition to a nonprofit organization.
The Reader has been stuck in limbo since December, when a planned transition to a nonprofit model was delayed over concerns about alleged censorship of an opinion piece written by Goodman, who pushed for an investigation into the matter and more representation on the successor board.
Goodman announced Tuesday he was stepping away from the Reader immediately over “an unresolvable impasse” with fellow co-owner, Chicago real estate developer Elzie Higginbottom, who wanted to move forward with the transition to a nonprofit newspaper.

Pulitzer preview: Jan. 6 reporting, IRS and Facebook
Journalists are sure to remember 2021 as a remarkable news year. Starting with penetrating Jan. 6 coverage of the Capitol rioting and its devastating fallout, the media also provided insightful coverage of climate change and other environmental challenges while following closely the painfully slow pandemic recovery. And along the way, it delivered numerous local and national scoops — including exclusives on the database inner workings of the Internal Revenue Service and of Facebook, to name only two.
On May 9, new Pulitzer Prize administrator Marjorie Miller will livestream the announcement from Columbia University of the 106th prizes in 15 journalism categories, coming as close as the press can to immortalizing its very best work. Also revealed will be seven prizes for U.S. arts and letters, rounding out the 22 total Pulitzer categories.
Poynter, as it has done for a dozen years, offers an advance look at some of the reporting likely to receive the Pulitzers’ blessing as winners or finalists in certain of its most competitive, news-based areas.
