Chicago (magazine)
Chicago is a monthly magazine published by Tribune Publishing. It concentrates on lifestyle and human interest stories, and on reviewing restaurants, travel, fashion, and theatre from or nearby Chicago. Its circulation in 2004 was 165,000, larger than People in its market. Also in 2004, it received the National Magazine Award for General Excellence. It is a member of the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA).
In the second half of the 20th century, several magazines bore the name Chicago magazine. The current one also has the longest history. It was established in 1952 as the monthly WFMT Guide and was founded as the programming guide for the classical radio station WFMT.
Starting in October 1970, the WFMT Guide began accepting paid advertising.
The WFMT Guide changed its name to Chicago Guide with the December 1970 issue and became a full-sized magazine.
Two other magazines titled Chicago magazine existed between the 1950s and the 1970s. One, published by founding editor Maurice English, published from 1954 until 1957 or 1958. The other version was a quarterly magazine that was published by the New Chicago Foundation from 1964 until 1973 and had Richard P. Frisbie as its editor, from 1971 until 1973. (Starting in late 1973, the formerly New Chicago Foundation-published Chicago magazine changed its name to the Chicagoan, and was published by the husband-and-wife duo of Jon Anderson and Abra Prentice Wilkin, had Richard Christiansen as its editor for a time, and hit the newsstands with its new name and format in September 1973. The Chicagoan was sold to National Textbook Company and S. William Pattis in the spring of 1974 and Pattis turned around and sold the Chicagoan to the Chicago Guide in September 1974. The circulation of the two magazines was combined with the November 1974 issue of the Chicago Guide.)
Chicago Guide magazine was renamed Chicago magazine at the start of 1975.)
In 1981, Chicago introduced the Nelson Algren Award, a short story contest that the magazine later abandoned before it was picked up by the Chicago Tribune newspaper.
In December 1986, Chicago Educational Television Association, which had owned WFMT and WTTW, announced that it would sell the magazine for $17 million to a joint venture formed by Metropolitan Detroit Magazine and Adams Communications. The deal closed in January 1987. Landmark Communications bought the magazine in 1990. Primedia (now Rent Group) bought the magazine in 1995. Tribune bought the magazine from Primedia in 2002.
