Today, Chicago Journal covers South Loop, Printers Row, Motor Row, Chinatown, New East Side, West Loop Gate, West Loop, Near West Side, Greektown, Little Italy, University Village and Pilsen neighborhoods. It is the most widely circulated Wednesday Journal city newspaper, boasting the circulation of 13,000.
