It’s a stunning trend: Four-year and two-year campuses are cutting back, merging, closing.

Milwaukee still the worst, while Elkhorn shows how to keep kids in school.

On Good Friday, Wisconsin’s Christians paused to reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus and plan for weekend family celebrations of his rising. Gov. Tony Evers used the time to veto 41 bills.

Too often, police agencies in Wisconsin are responding to requests for public information with blanket “open investigation” responses that are not adequately explained or clearly necessary. This denies the media — and the public — pertinent information about crimes that have happened in their backyards.

The way out of the morass is not to trade one woke behemoth for another, but to trade all behemoths for a true community driven journalism that promises to rebuild local journalism the only way it can be authentically rebuilt—from the bottom up.

The reflexive opposition to density and infill on the part of older and wealthier residents in Madison runs counter to the reality of our severe housing shortage and its dire impacts on those of more modest means.

Protected by the First Amendment, Edward R. Murrow denounced Joseph McCarthy on national news.
