Wire / About
One place for everything reported across central Wisconsin
Wausau Wire reads the newsrooms, public bodies and funeral homes across Marathon County and the seven counties around it, and brings what they publish to one page and one email at 3 p.m., each item linked to its source.
The wire, newest first
What you can count on
Every item takes you to its source
We gather the headline and send you to the newsroom, government or funeral home that published it. Their work stays theirs, and your click goes to them.
A lock tells you before you click
When a story sits behind its publisher's paywall, a small lock says so. You decide before the page asks, and the newsroom doing the reporting gets a fair shot at a subscriber.
Your towns first
Pick the corners of central Wisconsin you care about. The 3 p.m. Wire leads with them, then catches you up on the rest of the region.
Where it comes from
The papers, stations, city halls, county boards and funeral homes that already serve the region. So far the archive links to 49 of them. The full list, with how much each one carries, is always public.
