Tracy Baim is a Chicago-based LGBT journalist, editor, author, and filmmaker. She is also a former publisher of the Chicago Reader newspaper. [1]
Baim attained a journalism degree from Drake University in the field of news-editorialism in 1984. [2]
Windy City Times was founded in 1985 by Baim and others, who started Sentury Publications to publish the paper. [3] [4] where she is the publisher and executive editor.
Baim came to the Chicago Reader in 2018. Following a debilitating public dispute between Baim and then-editor and the paper's then co-owner Leonard Goodman, during which ownership was transferred to a nonprofit, Baim resigned in 2022.
