The Evanston RoundTable celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023. While the RoundTable became a not-for-profit corporation in 2021, many of our editors, reporters, photographers and designers have worked for the RoundTable for many years. In the last 10 years, they have received over 200 journalism awards from journalism associations, including the “2020 Peter Lisagor Award for Best Neighborhood / Community News” from the Chicago Headline Club and Society of Professional Journalists.
Most recently, the RoundTable won 37 awards in 21 categories at the annual Northern Illinois News Association competition. They included 13 first place awards as well as overall excellence for best website.
In 2022, the RoundTable won 48 awards at the annual awards gala of the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association in October, 2022. Some of the other awards are summarized here.
We continue to add new faces to enhance and expand our news coverage. Interested in working for the Evanston RoundTable? We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at news@evanstonroundtable.com.
