CAN TV’s Chicago Newsroom is once again garnering attention for its back-to-basics approach to local news analysis.

For the third year in a row, it was recognized by the Chicago International Film Festival (CIFF) Television Awards, and for the second year in a row by the Best of the Midwest Video Fest.

Each week, a panel of Chicago reporters, columnists, and editors join host Ken Davis for an in-depth discussion of the latest local news stories.

“Going beyond the headlines to help viewers understand what’s happening in Chicago takes time most commercial stations don’t have,” says Davis.

Chicago Newsroom is on Chicago cable channel CAN TV19  every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and online at cantv.org/newsroom.
