Alma Campos is a Mexican-American journalist in Chicago

I’m a bilingual investigative journalist and writer based in Chicago. I’m currently an immigration reporter at Chicago Public Media, where I report for the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ, examining power, accountability, and the human consequences of government policy.

I’ve covered evening breaking news and worked as a digital producer at Univision Chicago, as well as a reporter and immigration project editor at South Side Weekly.

My work has appeared in The Guardian, South Side Weekly, Reveal, Crain’s Chicago Business, and other outlets.

I was a 2019 City Bureau Civic Reporting Fellow and studied English and philosophy.
