I guess it's still pretty small if you compare it to Vogue or something, but it is distributed nationally, if not internationally. They have cool articles and good photography. But the real reason they get 5 stars from me is for featuring one of my evening feather head pieces in their spring issue fashion spread. They're so cool in my book for that.

(aka the police blotter) They went from a full- to half-broadsheet fairly recently. A good choice considering there wasn't enough content to warrant this oversized, awkward format. I gave the paper 5 stars because I believe in what they are doing but I really think the writing skills are lacking and as a past copyeditor -- there are tons of mistakes! But what can you do!

Printed on high quality paper so you don't have dirty fingers when you put it down. Solid columnists. They're not afraid to write original articles and take stands on local government policy and openly discuss bureaucratic corruption. Greg Hinz is mildly annoying but makes up for it with surprisingly piercing insight and wit. My favorite regular feature is the back page Info Junkie column where they take a local business bigwig and ask them what pubs they subscribe to, most recently read and favorite books. And their multitude of yearly lists, like Chicago's 40 under 40 and the Big Book of Lists are the epitome of coolness in a business pub.

They produce several different publications, with their bread and butter being the CDLBN, for professional lawyers. For us non-lawyer types, this is the go to publication when you need to have a legal notice published/seen by a lot of people, for legal reasons. I compared several "large enough" newspapers and this one has the most bang for your buck. The staff I worked with are professional, helpful and very available. What more could you possibly ask for?

End of story, untilI I received an email from cook county asking where my notarized proof of publication is and I have 10 days to publish.

They noted the account the request was received, but not the payment even though they took the monies from my account. Infuriating. Make sure you keep on top of them.
