The Milwaukee Journal

Newspaper founded in 1882 by Lucius W. Nieman as the Milwaukee Daily Journal, an independent community-oriented newspaper, and was renamed The Milwaukee Journal in 1890. Now known as The Journal Sentinel since 1995 following the consolidation of operations between the afternoon paper The Milwaukee Journal and the morning paper Milwaukee Sentinel, both of which had been owned by the same company, Journal Communications, for more than 30 years.
