Evanston RoundTable

Evanston’s leading source of news about local government, schools, civic and artistic activities. We seek to foster civic engagement and empower people to address issues facing our diverse community.

The Evanston RoundTable’s mission is to serve as the community’s leading source of news about local government, schools, civic and artistic activities, and other important issues facing our city. We seek to foster civic engagement and empower people to address complex issues facing our diverse community, promoting a better understanding and appreciation of people of all races, ethnicities, and income levels. We were founded in 1998, publishing a free, every-other-week newspaper, and we have been online since 2008. From the beginning, the RoundTable has been available at no charge, with the aim of making news available to all residents of Evanston. Over the years, the RoundTable has developed a strong reputation in the community for its in-depth, objective coverage of Evanston’s city government, schools, social issues, arts and culture, and sports. The paper and its reporters, editors and designers have received more than 200 journalism awards from journalism associations and local organizations. For more about the awards, click here.
