While the move will greatly reduce the paper's editorial content, executive editor Andrew Davis wrote in an email to the Bay Area Reporter, "Windy City Times will certainly endeavor to continue reporting on what's happening with the LGBTQ+ community and to have those individuals' voices heard."According to Davis, WCT's website (www.windycitytimes.com) will continue.
Three staffers were furloughed, while two will remain part-time to update the website and handle other business matters. In a prepared statement, founder and majority owner Tracy Baim said the September 30 edition, which marks the paper's 35th anniversary, will be its last regular free-standing print issue.
