The Wausonian is the independent publication of writer B.C. Kowalski. I break down the Wausau news weekly, giving you the news you need to know without all the reprinted press releases, wire stories and other fluff you don’t want. Wausau’s only truly local-only news source.

Why subscribe?

Paid subscribers ($5/month or $50 per year) get access to the long-form content as well, including inside and behind-the-scenes info that can’t be found anywhere else.

Why me?

I’ve been covering news for more than 15 years, and specialize in long-form content, something that can’t be found much else around these parts these days. I’ve developed a knack for seeing beyond the day-to-day headlines and teasing out the bigger picture and coming trends. The Wausonian is ground zero for that work.

I believe local journalism should be local, and not filled with fluff from other cities. Nor should it be reprinted press releases. Real journalism takes real reporting.

So enjoy the free weekly update, and if you want the full experience, consider becoming a paid subscriber today.
