City News Bureau of Chicago


 

City News Bureau of Chicago, or City Press, was one of the first cooperative news agencies in the United States. It was founded in the late 19th century by the newspapers of Chicago to provide a common source of local and breaking news and also used by them as a training ground for new reporters. Hundreds of reporters have graduated from the City News Bureau.
