  • Belmont Cragin high school newspaper rescued by alumnus Hugh Hefner

           The student newspaper at Steinmetz High School in Belmont Cragin gave Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner a start in media. Now he’s making sure future generations     of Steinmetz students have the same opportunity by personally financing the Steinmetz Star‘s print edition for the next five years. [DNAinfo Chicago]
