Crain's Daily Gist

Amy Guth

Booking Overview

A daily local-business news briefing focused on Chicago headlines and analysis, typically featuring Crain’s reporters rather than outside guests. PR agencies could credibly pitch Chicago-based executives, developers, economists, civic officials, and other authoritative local experts with direct relevance to a current business or policy story, but the newsroom-led format and limited outside-guest pattern make booking very difficult.
