Chicago Sky Fans - Season Temperature Check & Community Voices

How do you REALLY feel about the upcoming szn? I’m working on a story w/a local Black-owned publication & want to talk w/fans Hi there! I am a journalist who just left The Athletic, and will be covering the Sky for a Chicago-based, Black-owned publication this upcoming season. My work will specifically cover the team from the community and culture aspects to uplift the specific voices and passionate perspectives of fans in lieu of news with the team. My intro story onto the beat is really going through a checklist for a general reader on what has gone on with the Sky in the preseason — from the Angel Reese trade to the new roster full of former rivals to the city gearing up for All Star Weekend — in efforts to meet our readers and community where they are ahead of the season starting just days away. This is really to help folks know we are also a place they can plug into while they’re following along with the Sky. I understand fans are trying to figure out if this new era is a masterpiece or a mess as the franchise has taken hit after hit over the last few years. They shouldn’t be blamed for being worried about what’s next. Right now, I am looking to build a network of sources in fans that can serve as valuable voices for my stories throughout the season — especially with the first intro/temperature check roundup of what’s going on with the team. Please let me know if you or someone you know could be interested and we can chat! If you are a long-time, long-term fan who may have special or cultural connections to the team too, I’d especially love to talk to you!! :) I will reach out to those who comment and inbox with serious interest as I work through responses. Thank you!
