About Wisconsin Independent

The Wisconsin Independent launched in 2016 as a non-profit news site. We are a project of a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization, the High Ground Institute.

Our first mission is to elevate the voices of Wisconsin citizens. We believe the corporate media has done us a great disservice while our state’s Progressive tradition has been annihilated.

The Wisconsin Independent is a progressive news service that features original reporting and strong commentary from progressive sources across the state.

The Wisconsin Independent also shares news that is truthful, important, and interesting to the people of our great state. We want to be a community of ideas, and to highlight important work being done by universities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and individual leaders.

The corporate media is in decline. But we need your help to make the Wisconsin Independent strong. Please make a tax-deductible contribution today to support independent journalism. Thanks in advance.

We are also on Facebook and Twitter. If you have ideas or thoughts, please share it with us. We want this to be useful and good, but we can only do that with your help!
