Chicago Reader owner Len Goodman and three board members stepped down Tuesday amid protests from employees, freeing the embattled alternative newspaper to transition to a nonprofit organization.
Staff and supporters of the Chicago Reader rally April 21, 2022, outside the Lakeview home of Reader investor Leonard Goodman. A plan to convert the 51-year-old alternative newspaper to a nonprofit has been delayed by one of its two primary investors, Chicago defense attorney Goodman, after editors pushed back on a November column he wrote expressing concerns about vaccinating his child against COVID-19.
The Reader has been stuck in limbo since December, when a planned transition to a nonprofit model was delayed over concerns about alleged censorship of an opinion piece written by Goodman, who pushed for an investigation into the matterGoodman announced Tuesday he was stepping away from the Reader immediately over “an unresolvable impasse” with fellow co-owner, Chicago real estate developer Elzie Higginbottom, who wanted to move forward with the planned transition to a nonprofit newspaper.
