Kate N. Grossman joined the editorial board in December 2007 after seven years as a metro reporter at the Sun-Times, primarily covering education and public housing.  She has written extensively about the Chicago Housing Authority’s tear down and rebuild plan and about the Chicago Public Schools.

At the Sun-Times, Grossman produced two award-winning narrative series. One chronicled the first year at a new Chicago charter school; the other followed a CPS graduate from West Englewood in her first year at Northwestern.

Grossman previously worked in the Chicago bureau of the Associated Press, for the Providence (RI) Journal and spent one year as an assistant teacher in a Chicago public school. She has dual master degrees in journalism and public policy from Columbia University. Her undergraduate history degree is from Cornell University.
