Alysia Tate is editor and publisher of The Chicago Reporter and joined the staff as its government and politics reporter in 1998. She also worked as the publication’s managing editor and senior editor. Prior to that, she covered regional news trends at the Daily Herald, the third-largest paper in Illinois.
One of her most notable stories for the Reporter scrutinized the record of racial and economic diversity in Evanston and Oak Park. She also spent several months in the largely black and low-income Englewood community on the South Side producing a report that revealed a dearth of mental health services to help families cope with high levels of violent crime.
She has won numerous awards for her work, including the Peter Lisagor Award for Exemplary Journalism, sponsored by the Chicago Headline Club; the Clarion Award from the national Association for Women in Communications; the Unity Award in Media from Lincoln University of Missouri; as well as awards from the Inland Press Association; Chicago Women in Publishing and the Chicago Association of Black Journalists. She was named in the 2002 “40 Under 40” listing in Crain’s Chicago Business, which highlights the region’s top up-and-coming leaders, was a 2003-2004 Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a 2004 Ethics Fellow for the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, based in St. Petersburg, Fla.
