Today, April 9, is Local News Day and we join our partners and local news organizations to raise awareness of our shared work because we believe that when the local news ecosystem thrives, we all thrive.

Through the Wisconsin News Collaborative, WUWM, WPR and WXPR will share reporting on issues vital to communities across Wisconsin, with a focus on the environment and natural resources.
