The Record
EIN: 85-1425791 · Lombard, IL
Our Story
When 22nd Century Media ceased operations in March 2020, the vibrant local news landscape in Chicago's suburbs faced a significant void. In response, three dedicated editors—Joe Coughlin, Megan Bernard, and Martin Carlino—came together with a mission to revive responsible community reporting. They established The Record, a nonprofit news outlet committed to delivering trustworthy, nonpartisan journalism that informs and inspires.
