Illinois Times is an alternative weekly newspaper based in the state capital of Springfield, Illinois. We have been publishing local independent journalism for 45 years and are still locally owned and operated.
Over that time, we’ve gained the trust of our readers and made a name for ourselves in this advertising market. In a metro area of 200,000 people, we print 20,000 copies a week of our core publication (and never stopped printing, even during the pandemic), while we also grow our online presence with additional digital content.
In addition to our weekly paper, Central Illinois Communications publishes Springfield Business Journal (a monthly B2B magazine), Capital City Parent, Capital City Regeneration, Wedding and Visitor Guide,
