History of the City News Bureau

Chicago based cooperative news agency which ran from 1890 to 2005.

The City News Bureau was founded in 1890 by Chicago Daily News publisher Victor Lawson as a low cost way to gather routine news items from the police and City Hall, and to train reporters for their newsrooms. Originally called the City Press Association of Chicago, it was supported in the beginning by eight out of the ten Chicago dailies. It was renamed the City News Bureau in 1910, and was a fertile breeding ground for up and coming reporters, employing such future luminaries as Ben Hecht, Mike Royko, Seymour Hersh, Herman Kogan, Jack Mabley, novelist Kurt Vonnegut, actor Melvyn Douglas, and sculptor Claes Oldenburg. Chicago's major daily newspapers jointly owned and used City News Bureau until the Tribune became the sole owner and renamed it the New City News Service in 1999.

The City News Bureau officially closed its doors in January 2005.

Scope and Content of the Collection

Reporters' copy, notes, and supporting subject materials such as court documents, clippings, and press releases, primarily from the late 1980s to 2005. Also includes a small amount of office materials, reporters' notebooks, and guides. Reporters were stationed at City Hall, the Cook County Building, the Federal Court and Circuit Courts, and there is often overlap of subject matter between areas. All efforts have been made to preserve the original folder titles provided by City News Bureau reporters.

Narrative descriptions of the subject matter, types of material, and arrangement of each series are available through the Organization section of the finding aid.

Series 4: Federal Court, 1944-2004

Reporters' copy, notes, and supporting subject materials such as court documents, clippings, and press releases collected by reporters covering federal legal cases in Chicago. Materials date from the late 1980s to 2000, with the exception of a small amount of material from the 1940s and 1950s. Subject matter is similar to that of the rest of the series, but the items are primarily notes, press releases, and biographical sheets with very little in the way of original news copy. (Note: "H" - "K" and most of "L," "R"- "Z" were missing from the files at the time of donation.)
Arranged alphabetically with materials from the 1940s and 1950s at the end.
