Special projects
- Last Kiss: A touching look at the loss of life’s partner. Although the stories have already appeared in print and online at dailyherald.com, we're working to collect the entire series into one special presentation here.
- Chicago baseball: A little-more-than-casual but not-very-wonky statistical look at the current season. Updates each day throughout the season.
- Primary 2018: Primary election results, including detailed looks at the primaries for Democratic and Republican governor. We're trying to go beyond the Associated Press results and get the very local races not available from the wire service. We've had some success (Lake, Cook, Will counties) and some where we still have more work to do (Kane, McHenry and DuPage). But we intend to be able to report complete results in November and for the local consolidated eletion in 2019.
- Perilous Passage: Pedestrian and cyclist crashes, injuries and fatalities in the six-county area.
- Friday Night Flight: Tracking participation in 80+ high school football programs around the suburbs.
- Annual Illinois School Report Cards: The only comprehensive web app by an Illinois news site that reports the scores, demographics and financials released by the state each year.
- Poverty-Acheivement Index: Our award-winning look at the effect of poverty on school performance.
