New York Press, which was sorta the right-of-center Village Voice, had Jeff Koyen on staff for a few years. He published the greatest, most intense zine known to man in the 1990s, Crank. But then he went to Prague or something similarly faggy, and it went to shit.

Chicago doesn't have shit. The local alternative weeklies don't even have a set newsroom to follow scoops like that. Just a couple editors, a couple copy editors, and 23459804354 advertising reps.
