Paula DeWitt, co-owner of Glenwood City, Colfax newspapers, dies at 75

Paula Jean DeWitt, who with her husband co-owned the (Glenwood City) Tribune Press Reporter and the Colfax Messenger, died Monday, Sept. 14, at her home, following a 22-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 75.

The DeWitts purchased the Glenwood City Tribune and later added the Boyceville Press-Reporter in 1984, which they merged with the Tribune to form the Tribune Press Reporter. In 1995, they added the Colfax Messenger, which they purchased from longtime owner and publisher Lyle Christianson.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel vacates longtime home ahead of move

Ahead of a planned move in November, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has begun clearing out its longtime home in a historic downtown building, the Milwaukee Business Journal reports.

While its staff has been working remotely since March due to the pandemic, the Journal Sentinel is vacating the offices at 333 W. State St., as a local developer prepares to convert the building into apartments. A drone video shot by photographer Mike De Sisti offers a last glimpse of the empty building prior to the move.
