Late last month, leaders of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s parent company announced a merger with the E. W. Scripps corporation of Cincinnati. The deal combines print operations into a 14-newspaper business called Journal Media Group. It will also bring together broadcast media businesses into a separate company.
Since then, national and local analysts have been discussing what the merger will mean to the financial health of the companies, and what it will mean for local control of Milwaukee’s last daily print newspaper.
