The '''''Chicago Eagle''''' <ref>{{cite book|title=Story of Chicago in Connection with the Printing Business|url=https://archive.org/details/storychicagoinc00chicgoog|year=1912|publisher=Regan Printing House|pages=[https://archive.org/details/storychicagoinc00chicgoog/page/n159 155]}}</ref> was a newspaper from Chicago, Illinois, founded by publisher/editor Henry Donovan. The newspaper was originally published weekly on Saturdays, but changed its frequency to monthly in September 1944.
The ''Chicago Eagle'' lived up to the slogan printed under its masthead: "Independent in all things, neutral in none."<ref>{{cite web|title=Chicago Eagle|url=http://idnc.library.illinois.edu/cgi-bin/illinois?a=d&d=CHE19200925&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------|website=Illinois Digital Newspaper Collections|publisher=Chicago Eagle|accessdate=20 October 2014|date=September 25, 1920}}</ref> Its publisher's concerns and interests lay more in the day-to-day lives of his readers than cultivating political friendships: "Donovan campaigned relentlessly against graft and corruption in local and state government, with a particular emphasis on working conditions in the department stores; the meat-packing industry; the emerging telecommunications monopoly; election fraud; bribery of public officials; and public safety issues."<ref>{{cite web|title=About Chicago eagle.|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84025828/|website=Chronicling America|publisher=Library of Congress|accessdate=20 October 2014}}</ref>
