About The Record North Shore
What is The Record North Shore?
The Record North Shore is a nonprofit, independent and digital newsroom that relies on public financial support to produce responsible and community-first reporting. We currently serve Glencoe, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Northfield, Wilmette, Winnetka and more communities soon!
How do I contact you?
You can always reach us with general questions and news tips at [email protected]. Reach Editor in Chief Joe Coughlin at [email protected] and Director of Development Ryan Osborn at [email protected].
Do you accept op-eds or letters to the editor?
We do not. Community submissions often require rigorous fact-checking that we do not have the resources to accomplish. We do, however, encourage anyone to send messages and thoughts to our inboxes to provide us information and help guide our reporting.
