How do you get your news?
With information, reporting, and content everywhere and available at any time from everyone, “the news” is an ever-complex and constantly changing beast.
I’ve worked in and around media for most of my career, and recently thought to myself — where do I get my news?
So, here it goes. Use as you will.

Daily
To begin, daily I start with my curated Twitter feed and old-school interactions with people on other platforms like LinkedIn and Threads — these are great sources to find out what’s happening now and what people I’m connected to care about.
Next, I look at and read the following:
Wall Street Journal
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
New York Times
Bloomberg
Milwaukee Business Journal
620 WTMJ
Newsletters
Increasingly, newsletters are an important media go-to for me. I love the following:
Semafor Business
Semafor Media
DigiDay
StackedMarketer
Video/TV
The Circus
Real Time with Bill Maher
Real Sports with Bryant Gumble
60 Minutes
Podcasts

Experience Milwaukee
Check regularly, but not daily
Local:
Urban Milwaukee
BizTimes
Milwaukee Record

TechEd Podcast

Of course, there are other podcasts in my feed, including The Town, which — even though I’m not a big Hollywood news guy, I really enjoy and learn from.
Finally, Post and Artifact have made — especially in the past few months — news consumption way easier. I highly recommend both.
