News for everyone

In an increasingly digital world, it makes sense that 15 West leans into digital stories and digital innovation that unite communities through free, easy-to-understand, and honest reporting.

News for everyone

Are you ready for #news for everyone?

Who are we? In case you haven't read our about page, 15 West is a resident and volunteer-supported newsroom dedicated to connecting people mile by mile, block by block, throughout neighborhoods west of Chicago. We were formed by 501(c)(3) arts publisher Lucky Jefferson.

Made possible by Cook County’s Digital Equity Impact Grant, we want to be one of the first news spaces to intentionally cater to readers of all needs, abilities, and competencies.

We aim to increase understanding of the news and diminish the likelihood that someone is misinformed about the world around them.

We’re neurodiverse first, getting news to people of all abilities.



Noticas para todos.

¿Quiénes somos?

15 West es una sala de prensa fiscalmente patrocinada y operada por voluntarios que se dedica a conectar a las personas a lo largo de los barrios del oeste de Chicago; milla por milla, cuadra por cuadra.

Gracias al aporte del condado de Cook para el Impacto en la Equidad Digital, queremos ser uno de los primeros espacios de noticias que sirva a lectores de todas las necesidades, habilidades y competencias.
Nuestro fin es aumentar la comprensión de noticias y disminuir la posibilidad de que alguien esté mal informado sobre el mundo a su alrededor.

Neurodiversidad antes que nada, llevando noticias a gente de todas las habilidades.
