Wisconsin Watch

Exciting News!?? Wisconsin Watch and Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS) are officially merging to strengthen local news across Wisconsin! Together, we’re doubling down on our commitment to ask the questions our neighbors want answered, uncover the challenges they face and shine a light on the solutions that empower our communities. By combining forces, we’ll have an even greater ability to deliver impactful, fact-based journalism that addresses the most pressing issues in Milwaukee and across the state. This partnership allows us to not only enhance our investigative and community-centered reporting but also collaborate on innovative projects like News414, where we connect directly with residents via text for real-time news updates and tips. With the support of the American Journalism Project, this merger is more than just a collaboration — it’s a bold step toward building a sustainable future for local journalism in Wisconsin. We’re excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to serve you with trusted news that strengthens our democracy.

Ever wonder who produces each Wisconsin Watch story? Journalists are good at telling other people’s stories, but sometimes we forget to tell our own. That’s why we’re launching an occasional Wednesday Report feature called Get to Know Wisconsin Watch. First up is Deputy Managing Editor Jim Malewitz. He co-runs the editorial team with Statehouse Bureau Chief Matthew DeFour and has worked at Wisconsin Watch for nearly five years.

One thing I really enjoy about traveling is meeting so many different people from various walks of life and different areas of our industry. I always tell people that the Northeast feels like the brain of the country to me—fast-paced and full of theory and application. The South feels like the body, with so much industry and passionate people willing to put in the work and sweat it takes to keep the world spinning with vibrancy and sustainability. The West always makes me feel small in the world, with a peace and sense of adventure that feels like the spirit of the country. But the Midwest... that's the heart. And what better place to reinvent the relationship between news and communities than in the heart of the country? At Wisconsin Watch, based In the heart of the Midwest, we hyper-focus on the facts, information, and investigative reporting that affect Wisconsinites. We continue to find innovative ways and partners to disseminate this information to all communities across Wisconsin. If you haven't already, be sure to check out and subscribe to our latest reporting and newsletters, and remember that your local news outlets around Wisconsin are here to give a voice to the voiceless. #wisconsinwatch #journalism #investigativereporting George Stanley Lauren Fuhrmann Anna January https://lnkd.in/gip2zBbu
