Showcase » TribLocal

A product of Chicago Tribune Media Group, TribLocal is the go-to source of real-time relevant news and happenings in over 100 suburban Chicagoland communities that helps readers make informed decisions. TribLocal’s websites and newspapers are a compilation of suburban stories, photos and events written by staff reporters, community producers and citizen contributors, along with news gathered from other media outlets, to offer the most comprehensive information in one spot.

Why it’s in the Showcase: The site uses WordPress MultiSite and BuddyPress to create hyper-local news websites with user contributed galleries, events, and articles. It features integration with the print publishing system at Triblocal, allowing user contributed content published in the weekly print editions of the newspaper.
