About Us

The Glenview Lantern is an independent news publication covering local affairs, world events, entertainment, and celebrity culture.

The Glenview Lantern is an independent news publication covering the stories that matter — from Glenview village hall to the world stage, and everything in between. We publish daily for readers in the North Shore and across the country who want their news clearly reported, well-sourced, and free of spin.

What we cover

Our newsroom publishes daily across four beats:

  • Local news — village government, schools, public safety, community events, and the businesses shaping Glenview and the surrounding North Shore.
  • World news — the major political, economic, and cultural stories of the day, summarized for readers who want context without partisan spin.
  • Entertainment — film, streaming, and prestige television reviews from working critics, plus weekly recommendations and industry analysis.
  • Celebrity culture — Hollywood premieres, awards season coverage, and music-industry reporting that goes beyond the gossip cycle.

Our mission

We believe local communities deserve the same quality of journalism that big-city dailies give their audiences. The Glenview Lantern was founded to close that gap — to report on Glenview with the same rigor we bring to national entertainment and world affairs, and to keep that reporting accessible to every reader.

Editorial standards

Every story is reported by a named journalist. Sources are verified. Corrections are issued publicly and promptly. We do not run sponsored content disguised as editorial coverage, and our critics review titles they have paid to see unless a complimentary screening is explicitly disclosed in the byline.

Our newsroom

The Lantern’s editorial team is led by a full-time roster of reporters and critics. Every article is bylined and every byline links back to its author’s archive.
