Ron Smith, editor of Milwaukee NNS
At the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, we take the “service” part of our name seriously.
As you should know, we are a nonprofit newsroom that uses evidence-based journalism to tell stories about our community that would otherwise go untold.
But it’s a two-way street. We can’t be everywhere, or cover all the great things happening in our neighborhoods, but we can always be there for you.
Here is a “How To” on the best ways to get your news on our site and on our social media channels.
Do you have feedback on Milwaukee NNS's reporting? Take our survey to let us know how we're doing!
Here’s how you can help us:
Our journalism is free, but our labor is not. We need your help to be sustainable. NNS was founded in 2011 to address the pressing need for more balanced coverage of Milwaukee’s Central City neighborhoods. We report about people who are working hard to improve the quality of life for themselves and their neighbors, and we also produce in-depth stories that address the challenges facing these communities. No other news organization does what we do.
Thank you for allowing NNS to tell the stories that celebrate our city’s diverse neighborhoods. It’s an honor we don’t take lightly.
