The Chicago Reporter is a monthly periodical based in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Founded in 1972, it covers poverty and race issues. It was founded by John A. McDermott, who sought to create "the nation's first publication devoted to analyzing and investigating local racial issues." In 1974, its yearly budget was $120,000, most of which was paid by the Ford Foundation. In 2016, sister publication Catalyst, focused on education, merged into The Chicago Reporter.
The interim editor and publisher is Glenn Reedus.
