Wisconsin Newspaper Association members and former WNA officers Kris O’Leary and Pat Reilly joined Eau Claire’s Volume One managing editor McKenna Scherer to discuss local newspapers on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Wisconsin Today” on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025.
Reilly and his brother Mike co-own The Dodgeville Chronicle, the Pecatonica Valley Leader and The Democrat Tribune in Mineral Point. O’Leary’s Tribune-Phonograph in Abbotsford has been in her family for generations as one of five outlets of which she serves as owner and publisher.
WPR asked the newspaper professionals how they’ve been able to survive market trends that have swallowed up other community news outlets.
