Best Way to Get Featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2026): Guaranteed Wisconsin News Coverage

Two papers, one masthead

Where the Journal Sentinel comes from

The paper carries the history of Milwaukee’s two great dailies. That depth is part of why a feature on jsonline.com is trusted by Wisconsin readers.

1837

Milwaukee Sentinel

Founded with the backing of Solomon Juneau, the city’s founder and first mayor.

1882

The Milwaukee Journal

Led for decades by Lucius W. Nieman, who promised an independent and aggressive paper.

1995

The two newsrooms merge into one daily. The paper joined Gannett, now the USA Today network, in 2016.

Reporting with impact

Pulitzer Prizes since the 1995 merger

The Journal Sentinel is known for investigations that change things in Wisconsin. Its readers expect facts and evidence, so your feature needs real detail: names, numbers, places and dates. That is how we write it.

Before the merger, The Milwaukee Journal had already won several Pulitzers, starting with a public service award in 1919.

  1. 2008Local reporting. David Umhoefer, on pension abuses in Milwaukee County.
  2. 2010Local reporting. Raquel Rutledge, on fraud in a state childcare programme.
  3. 2011Explanatory reporting. A team led by Mark Johnson and Kathleen Gallagher, on using genetic technology to save a young boy.
Audience

Who reads the Journal Sentinel?

Readers in Milwaukee and its suburbs, across southeastern Wisconsin and beyond. They include business owners, executives at the region’s manufacturers, healthcare and university staff, investors and sports fans following the Bucks, Brewers and Packers.

Milwaukee is Wisconsin’s largest city, and jsonline.com is where many of the state’s business and civic conversations start. A feature there reaches the people who hire, buy and invest in the region.

For UK and international companies, it is a way to show Wisconsin partners and customers that you are serious about the market.
