Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest

Steve Mills

I’m an editor in the Midwest, based in ProPublica’s Chicago office.

Have a Tip for a Story?

I’m interested in any and all tips about stories anywhere in the Midwest.

What I Do

I work with reporters in Illinois and four other states, though they sometimes range beyond the borders of the states where they live.

My Background

I came to ProPublica in 2017 to help open the organization’s first regional office. Before that, I was a reporter at the Chicago Tribune for more than 20 years. I also worked at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle and the Winston-Salem Journal. I’m originally from California.
