History
The Stevens Point Journal was founded in 1853 as the Wisconsin Lumberman. It was renamed the Stevens Point Journal in 1872.[1][2]
In 1997, the newspaper was sold to the Thomson Corporation, at the time a major national publisher of newspaper which owned six other newspapers in Wisconsin.[3] It was then included in the sale of Thomson's newspaper assets to Gannett in 2000.[4] In 2022, Gannett eliminated the Journal's Saturday print edition.[5]
