UpNorthNews is dedicated to making sure people across Wisconsin have access to clear, factual reporting about the issues shaping our state—from decisions in Madison to the real-life impact on communities across the Badger State.
But across the country, local news is disappearing. As newspapers close and coverage shrinks, too many communities are left without reliable information. In those gaps, misinformation spreads—and people are left without the tools they need to stay informed and engaged.
That’s where we come in.
Every day, UpNorthNews delivers people-centered, fact-based journalism through social media, our website, and newsletters sent straight to your inbox. We focus on the stories that matter most—while also highlighting the shared experiences that connect communities from Milwaukee to Green Bay, Eau Claire to the Northwoods, and everywhere in between.
We’re proud to be a newsroom rooted in Wisconsin, telling the stories of the people who call the Badger State home. And we believe independent, transparent journalism is essential to a healthy, informed community.
We also believe it should be accessible to everyone. That’s why there are no paywalls. No subscription fees.
But that means we rely on support from readers like you.
