E&P Picks Chicago Reader As a Paper That Does It Rightnew
Chicago Reader has been named to Editor & Publisher's "10 That Do It Right" list. It is cited for its singular achievement in attracting young, single readers while producing a thick, substantive paper that doesn't fit the mold. "Long-form journalism is a staple, but screechy commentary on national issues isn't," E&P's Greg Mitchell comments. The Reader and nine other winners are profiled in an online article available only to E&P subscribers.

It takes up a disproportionate amount of time for our customer service people. The best way for us to separate the wheat from the chaff is to have a modest fee," Craigslist Chief Executive Jim Buckmaster told The Post.
