From once being a fan to the now editor-in-chief, Enrique Limón is tasked with maintaining the Chicago_Reader’s relevance in the city.
“I left alt weeklies in 2020 after nearly 15 years and I thought, well that’s it,” says Limón.
He was familiar with the Reader from his time in Chicago while doing a fellowship at Northwestern University’s Medill journalism school. “The Reader for me was the one that got away,” says Limón. “Ingrained into that fellowship was to eventually pitch something to the Reader in the hopes of it being published by the end of the fellowship. So I did a stack of potential ‘best of Chicago’ blurbs for the 2015 issue or something like that. They were just a little bit too out there for the time.”“I think the mission for any alt weekly should be to embed itself within the community.
He says the Reader has long been a “reference point” for him in his career, and notes the impact of the Reader’s “people issue” – in which Chicagoans from all walks of life were profiled – was a “format buster.”“That’s the issue that we just put to bed yesterday. I think it's going to be a great impact in the community.
