After her time with WWG, Evy Lewis spent the 2025 Missouri legislative session covering state government for St. Louis Public Radio as their inaugural Missouri Statehouse intern. In that role, she produced daily radio reporting, including a feature story about efforts by Bayer to pass legislation halting glyphosate lawsuits.
After that, Lewis moved to Chicago and worked as a freelance researcher for Investigate Midwest, where she was able to put some of the research habits she built working for WWG to use looking through SEC filings and expense reports.
Now, she is working full-time as a daily reporter at the Daily Southtown, a subsidiary of the Chicago Tribune, covering several communities in the south suburbs of Chicago. Her work in that position has included continuing reporting on a fiscal crisis in the city of Harvey and covering the appointment of the bishop of Joliet to lead the New York Archdiocese.
At the University of Missouri, Lewis’s focus was print and digital journalism, especially in the realm of investigative and political reporting. She covered local and state government for the Columbia Missourian and also covered state government for Missouri News Network wire service, where her articles were picked up for dozens of Missouri papers, including the Missouri Independent. She is from Minneapolis.
