noisy creek WBEZ Reader Ivy+

The Future of Local Media in Chicago
(Ivy+ event in partnership with the Stanford Club of Chicago)

Wednesday, April 8, 2026

Join us for a discussion about the future and importance of local media for our neighborhoods and our democracy. 
 

We'll feature a panel discussion with Brady Walkinshaw (Princeton '06), who founded Noisy Creek, a company dedicated to invigorating beloved local publications like the 55-year-old Chicago Reader, and Sarah Conway, Editor in Chief of the Chicago Reader and 2024 winner of a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting. [NOTE: The addition of one more panelist is forthcoming.]
 

The discussion will be moderated by Reggie Ponder (Princeton ‘84), who is a film critic at WBEZ and other media outlets in addition to being a board member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. 


Drinks and food to be served. It'll be a great time… We promise!
