The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is Wisconsin’s best-known daily newspaper, formed in 1995 from two papers dating back to 1837 and 1882. United Press secures named, approved features on jsonline.com, live within 14 days of your approval or a 100% refund.
You can pitch the newsroom, or you can book a guaranteed feature. Pitching means offering Journal Sentinel reporters a genuine Wisconsin story, such as a new plant, new jobs or a local first. It costs nothing, but the editors decide, and many pitches are never used.
A guaranteed feature is agreed in writing before you pay. The Journal Sentinel is in our publication network: we plan the angle with you, write the article, you approve it, and it is published on jsonline.com within 14 days of your approval. If the agreed article is not published, you receive a full refund.

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.
Founded with the backing of Solomon Juneau, the city’s founder and first mayor.
Led for decades by Lucius W. Nieman, who promised an independent and aggressive paper.
The two newsrooms merge into one daily. The paper joined Gannett, now the USA Today network, in 2016.

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.
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.

The strongest features connect your business to something Wisconsin readers already care about.
