Curious City

Waiting for the CTA ... lost in thought while walking downtown ... sometime during lather, rinse, repeat. Those in-between moments when our brains aren’t forced into focus are ripe for pondering the whys, what-ifs and how-comes. WBEZ’s Curious City is the place your brain can release all those fleeting questions. There are two ways your questions can turn into stories.

Beyond wondering about what you wonder about, Curious City is a journalistic experiment to get to the bottom of some hard questions. What happens when WBEZ invites the public to assign us stories? What could more transparency and audience involvement look like, and how are journalists and journalism changed by it? And does anyone actually care to know how the media they consume is made? In the process, we aim to track down and deliver answers to as many of your questions as we can.
