While the Evanston RoundTable Media NFP is a new not-for-profit corporation, most of our editors, reporters, photographers and designers have worked with the Evanston RoundTable for many years. In the last 10 years, they have received approximately 150 journalism awards from journalism associations. Most recently, the RoundTable won 21 awards at the annual awards gala of the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association in October, 2020. Some of the awards are summarized here.
Our editors, reporters, columnists, photographers, include the following. We plan to add new faces to enhance and expand our news coverage. Interested in writing for the Evanston RoundTable? We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at news@evanstonroundtable.com.
