Brad Flora started Windy Citizen in October 2006 because he was frustrated that he and friends would write stories for Medill classes, then have no place to publish them. The Tribune's Steve Johnson writes: "It's a Sisyphean task for any news site to compete with the big boys and convince advertisers to think in new ways. But in the early going, The Windy Citizen is doing enough thinking, digging and innovating to give itself a fighting shot at success." || Tim McGuire: Flora talks fast, loud and convincingly.
