Journal Sentinel Inc. (publisher of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and numerous other newspapers) announced today it was offering voluntary buyouts to employees in hopes of reducing staff anywhere from 35-50 workers. As more people turn to the web for Wisconsin news, Wisconsin auto ads and Wisconsin real estate, revenues have dropped. I wonder how other local papers are being affected by similar forces and how much people in Sun Prairie, Waukesha, Wausau, Rhinelander and more communities depend on their local papers for news and real estate anymore. I could probably check circulation numbers myself, but would rather hear from our readers…
Do you subscribe to your local paper? Do you use it to find real estate for sale in your area? Or do you go to the websites of some of the leading REALTORS in your area to search instead? Or do you look both places? Drop us a comment.
