CHICAGO, June 11, 2024 ~ MindSite News, the nation's only news outlet dedicated to reporting on mental health, has announced the opening of a new bureau in Chicago. This expansion is made possible by the support of three major foundations: the Reva and David Logan Foundation, the Field Foundation, and the Sozosei Foundation.
Founded in 2021, MindSite News has been committed to shedding light on the mental health crisis in the United States and exploring potential solutions. With this new bureau in Chicago, they will be able to focus on specific issues facing the city and its residents.
According to MindSite News' Founding Editor Rob Waters, "The bureau will enable MindSite News to deepen our work in Chicago and build on our history of partnering with local outlets including WBEZ, Block Club Chicago and South Side Weekly."

McGhee will continue his reporting on the intersection of criminal justice and mental health. Additionally, Alma Campos will serve as lead writer for a project focused on mental health issues affecting Chicago's immigrant communities.
