Chicago Reader editor Alison True says in a memo that the departing writers "produced some of our most important and exciting stories [and] their achievements have included brilliant investigative work, prestigious awards, and possibly most important, spurring social change in a city that always needs it." Media critic Steve Rhodes writes: "The loss of John Conroy is most stunning. My God, the man has produced perhaps the most important journalism in the city in his time at the Reader." || More from Reader press critic Michael Miner.
