Fifty copies of the DuPage Policy Journal arrived at my high school. It's
sub-heading is "real data, real value, real news," but it's a political
mailing masked as a newspaper and funded by Governor Rauner and radio show
host Dan Proft.

The papers <are under different names>, as listed by the Illinois Press
Association, are Chambana Sun, DuPage Policy Journal, East Central
Reporter, Kankakee Times, Lake County Gazette, McHenry Times, Metro East
Sun, North Cook News, Rock Island Today, Sangamon Sun, SW Illinois News,
West Central Reporter and West Cook News.
Not included in the IPA's list is the Will County Gazette, but its website
is nearly identical in layout
and design to the other papers' websites. It also lists the same publisher,
Locality Labs (according to
the Patch article link below).
