Best of Chicago 2012: City Life
Britt Julious
by Tal Rosenberg on June 20, 2012 at 12:00AM
The best indication of what to expect from 25-year-old writer Britt Julious can be found in her Twitter handle, which is also the title of her Tumblr: the witty portmanteau "Britticisms." It's remarkable how active she is on both platforms, even as she works at Groupon, serves as a senior editor at the terrific high/low culture blog This Recording, and writes regularly for Gapers Block, Rhizome, and Design Bureau, among others.

Chicago Reporter
by Mick Dumke on June 20, 2012 at 12:00AM
The Chicago Reporter is 40 years old and still covering racial issues as well as anyone anywhere—which makes it more necessary than it's ever been, since most other news shops in Chicago—one of the country’s most segregated cities—hardly touch race at all. As when it was launched in 1972, the journal avoids flash and fire in favor of facts: recent investigations into police misconduct, immigrant wage theft, and politically connected slumlords are hard to dismiss since they're based on primary-source documents and data.

Lumpen
Editor and publisher Ed Marszewski has built a small empire for the artistic left, from spearheading alternative arts festivals such as Version and the MDW Fair to creating the Co-Prosperity Sphere, a Bridgeport cultural center. First published in 1991, Lumpen stays on top of the liberal underground with quality articles, reviews, interviews, and essays about art, politics, and everything we should be pissed off about, such as privatization, militarism, and corporate power.

Proco "Joe" Moreno (1st)
When Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno isn't dealing with his constituents in the First Ward, he’s often hitting one of its music venues. On record as a serious Minor Threat fan—a vinyl copy of Complete Discography adorns his office wall—Moreno is a fan of punk, an advocate for Chicago’s music community, and a frequent presence at summer music festivals and rock clubs such as the Empty Bottle and Subterranean.
