Talk:Windy City Times

Room for improvement
There is definitely room for improvement here (I'll work on it). The article is basically a big vanity list of the people involved. It doesn't tell you the basics, though - I don't even see how often it's printed in here! NickBurns 16:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

This is a joke. The awards won were won almost exclusively when Jeff McCourt was owner (he also won a Peter Lisagor Award) and publisher. This thin PR snip wants to make it appear as if the real owners/founders never existed or did anything. The founder/owner/publisher/writer who is acknowledged as having created a great newspaper via hiring excellent writers, editors and staff and who ran WCT from its founding in 1986 until, due to serious illness, he had to stop in 1999 was Jeff McCourt. His determination to create a real newspaper with high journalistic standards helped reshape the whole GL media. He was one of the first GL publishers to win so-called mainstream adverts. He is also acknowledged as playing a key role in getting the Gay Rights Ordinance passed in Chicago and helping Harold Washington become mayor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.95.195.215 (talk) 10:36, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
