Wisconsin Examiner
The Wisconsin Examiner is a nonpartisan, nonprofit news site offering a fresh perspective on politics and policy in Wisconsin state. As the largest news bureau covering state government in Madison, the Examiner offers investigative reporting and daily coverage dedicated to the public interest. We take our inspiration from the motto emblazoned on a ceiling in the state Capitol: “The Will of the People Is the Law of the Land.”
The Examiner is part of States Newsroom, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by grants and a coalition of donors and readers. The site retains full editorial independence.
