Tuesday's Sun-Times was not printed due to issues at our vendor's printing facility. We've made the e-paper available for free today. Tuesday's paper will be delivered tomorrow along with Wednesday's edition.

Unfortunately, the printing plant issues we’ve been facing this week continue. We’ve had to print Wednesday’s and Thursday’s papers at multiple facilities across the region, which affects how and when papers are delivered — with a deadline Wednesday of 6 p.m. — more than four hours earlier than usual. We’re grateful for your understanding.

After Tuesday's paper wasn't delivered yesterday, Wednesday's paper will arrive late in some areas due to continuing issues at our vendor's printing facility. Both papers are expected to be delivered throughout the morning.

There will be no early Sunday edition, also called the "3-star" or bulldog, this weekend, and the regular Sunday edition will be smaller than usual. We were unable to include news from Friday evening in Saturday's paper.

The Sun-Times has returned to printing at our usual plant for more than a week with no issues, which has been a huge relief following an unprecedented period of disruption.

We took a risk because we think everyone should have access to local news and information for the good of our community — and our democracy. Thanks to community support, here are some of the community stories you can read for free.

We’re turning it off for the next week so you can head to the polls informed, distraction-free and focused on what matters and, for post-election days to come, be able to view and share trustworthy local news and information — including all of our election coverage — without having to log in.

Our efforts to engage new audiences — which included tests of new approaches for stories, social media, liveblogs and our home page, as well as the launch of our text-messaging chat — grew loyal readers ages 18-24 and social audiences in that group.

We have created a series of stories — in English and Spanish — with information for immigrants tied together with a single frequently-asked-questions page to make it easy to navigate.
