MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN WISCONSIN

Heavy consolidation by national chains like Gannett and Lee Enterprises defines the modern newspaper industry across America's Dairyland, though a broad network of rural community dailies remains active. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a Pulitzer-winning Gannett property formed from a 1995 merger, dominates the media market with the largest circulation. In the capital, Lee Enterprises operates the Wisconsin State Journal as the primary daily serving the southern counties. Further north, the Green Bay Press-Gazette, another Gannett publication, anchors regional reporting. The collegiate press also carries historical weight, highlighted by Madison's Badger Herald operating as a fully independent student publication.
