The UWM Post is a student newspaper independently run by the students of UW-Milwaukee, bringing original news, arts and culture, and sports reporting to the UWM campus and greater Milwaukee area.

The Post was formally founded with that title in 1956 after the Wisconsin State College – Milwaukee and UW Extension Milwaukee division merged that year to form the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The paper is ultimately descended from the publications of both schools and has frequently cited 1915 and 1888 as its founding year. Published weekly in print, the newspaper published a new issue every Monday during the fall and spring semesters and was distributed both on campus and in the greater Milwaukee area.

Once the largest independent college weekly in Wisconsin, the newspaper ended its print run in 2012. The UWM Post is now available online every day at uwmpost.com.

Editor-in-Chief

Anna Gipple is a senior at UWM studying journalism and digital arts and culture. She has reported on issues ranging from politics to small businesses in Milwaukee and across the map. Her background and ever-growing interest in the arts have inspired a number of her stories at the UWM Post and Media Milwaukee. She is also involved in UWM’s Minority Media Association, where she and others aim to encourage diversity among media students. When not writing or interviewing community members, she is usually serving tacos and margaritas at Belair Cantina, rock climbing or channeling her journalistic skills while reading a mystery novel. 

News Editor

Haley Wichman is a senior at UWM studying Journalism and film production. She has reported on Milwaukee news and has participated in a reporting team to create two large special journalism projects for Media Milwaukee in the past year. She was an editorial intern at Milwaukee Magazine, reporting on arts and culture within the city.
