The Neighborhood Writing Alliance (NWA) presents our writers and their work at more than 25 events and readings each year. Join us at a reading or performance to hear the writers tell their stories in person.

We are grateful  to you for making the Neighborhood  Writing  Alliance's Every Person Is a Philosopher 15th Anniversary Benefit such a  warm celebration of writing, community, and social justice. Follow the link above to view event pictures, and listen to the audio. 

News Literacy Panel
Monday, February 13th
Jane Addams Hull House
800 S. Halsted
6-8 pm

Join Peter Adams (the news literacy project), Natalie Moore (WBEZ), and Rhonda Gillespie (freelance journalist, formerly of the Chicago Defender) as they each give short presentations followed by open discussion with workshop attendees about what news is, what gets covered and why, and how consumers can develop the skepticism and skills necessary to know what to believe in the news and information landscape. Participants will explore the role of citizen journalists in the digital age and will discuss effective strategies for writing letters and emails to the editor.  RSVP is required. Please call Rachael at (773) 684-2742 or email rhudak@jot.org.
