About Us

Community-focused media serving Chicago's western suburbs

Hinsdale Magazine Group publishes locally focused magazines that document the people, organizations, businesses, and institutions shaping life in Chicago's western suburbs.

Our Editorial Approach

Through consistent coverage of community leadership, education, cultural initiatives, philanthropy, economic activity, and local history, the publications provide a broad view of the factors that contribute to quality of life in the region.

Our editorial approach is rooted in continuity. By regularly covering the organizations, initiatives, and individuals active in the community, the magazines create an ongoing record of civic life and community development.

Established in 2011, Hinsdale Magazine Group began with a small team committed to producing high-quality local journalism focused on community life. What started as a single publication grew to include four magazines serving Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, and Elmhurst, each maintaining consistent editorial standards and production quality.

Today, Hinsdale Magazine Group continues to provide consistent coverage of the institutions, initiatives, and individuals contributing to strong and engaged communities. Editorial decisions are guided by a commitment to accuracy, clarity, and relevance.

The magazines are mailed to homes and businesses throughout Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, Elmhurst, and portions of Burr Ridge and Clarendon Hills.
