We want to hear from you
Jan. 26, 2026
Investigate Midwest is participating in an audience research project led by Northwestern University’s Medill Local News Accelerator and Press Forward Chicago. The goal is simple: to better understand who engages with our reporting and how people use local journalism.
If you regularly read our investigations, share our stories, or follow our reporting on agriculture, labor, and environmental accountability, this survey is a chance to tell us a little about yourself and your relationship with news.
The results will help us make more informed decisions about how we report and share our work.
The survey takes about 11 minutes to complete. As a thank you, readers who complete the survey can choose to enter a raffle for a $100 gift card.
Your responses are collected and analyzed by Medill and shared with Investigate Midwest in aggregate. Individual responses are not shared publicly.
We appreciate your time and your trust in our reporting.
