15 West is a resident and volunteer-powered newsroom dedicated to connecting people mile by mile, block by block, throughout Chicago’s West Side and neighboring suburbs.
Made possible by Cook County’s Digital Equity Impact Grant, and fiscally sponsored by 501(c)(3) arts publisher Lucky Jefferson, we're building one of the first newsrooms designed for readers of all abilities, from the ground up.
Our Mission: Make news easier to understand and reduce misinformation about the world around us. We're neurodiverse-first, delivering accessible journalism to everyone, no exceptions.

Noticias para todos.

Posible gracias a la subvención de Equidad Digital del Condado de Cook y operada por la organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3) Lucky Jefferson, estamos construyendo una de las primeras salas de prensa diseñadas para lectores de todas las habilidades, desde cero.
Nuestra misión: Hacer que las noticias sean más fáciles de entender y reducir la desinformación sobre el mundo que nos rodea. Neurodiversidad primero, entregando periodismo accesible para todos, sin excepciones.
