Milwaukee's daily [[newspaper]] is the ''[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]]'', which was formed when the morning paper the ''Milwaukee Sentinel'' merged with the afternoon paper ''Milwaukee Journal''.

Other local newspapers, city guides, and magazines with large distributions include ''[[Milwaukee Magazine]]'', ''Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service'', ''Milwaukee Independent'', ''[[Riverwest Currents]]'', ''The Milwaukee Courier'' and ''Milwaukee Community Journal''. [[Urban Milwaukee]] and [[OnMilwaukee.com]] are online-only publications providing political and real-estate news as well as stories about cultural events and entertainment.

Until 2015, [[Journal Communications]] (a [[NYSE]]-traded corporation) published the ''Journal Sentinel'' and well over a dozen local weekly newspapers in the metropolitan area. At that time, Journal was split into the Journal Media Group for publishing, while the television and radio stations went to the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] (Journal founded WTMJ-TV, along with [[WTMJ (AM)|WTMJ]] and [[WKTI]]). As a result, it was criticized for having a near-[[monopoly]] in local news coverage.<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20090113204339/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,879032,00.html Duel in Milwaukee]".
