About Word Round Town

Word Round Town is a digital magazine for St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia, Illinois. We publish local news, events, deals, guides, business profiles, short videos and weekend plans. It is free to read, with no paywall.

Our coverage

We write for people who live and shop in the three towns. A story earns its place by telling a reader what changed and what to do about it.

Some things we leave out. We do not run a police blotter, and we do not cover the courts. If a lawsuit affects a local rule or service, we may mention it in a line. We do not cover lawsuits in depth. The site has no comment section. Discussion happens on our social posts.
