About Us

The Business News is a Wisconsin-based print and digital media company delivering relevant, thought-provoking content to our audiences – keeping readers current on local economic trends, business topics and innovators across more than 40 counties in the Northeast, North Central and West Central regions of the state. Our special publications, the annual Book of Lists and quarterly The New Business Review, offer fresh ideas and insight to the decision-makers and thought leaders shaping our home.

Who we are

We’re storytellers who work and live in the same communities as you. Every day, our small but mighty team curates the latest business events, trends and stories for our readers – giving presence to owners, operators and leaders who’ve historically been overlooked or underrepresented. Their innovations, big and small, their groundbreaking moments, strategic pivots and the incredible teams behind it all are what inspire us. We’re not just excited to share their stories with a broader audience – we’re honored.

Where we’ve been

Founded in 2003, The Business News has proudly been in print for over 20 years. When current CEO & Publisher Megan Dickman-Rendard purchased the company in 2021, she was working at a Green Bay-based tech start-up and saw a clear need: media that could deeply engage with businesses – understanding who they were, their industry and the value they brought to market – while telling their stories well in every issue. She and her team set out to refine The Business News, building it into a trusted resource created by and for Wisconsin’s business professionals and community leaders.

Where we’re headed

We continue to grow and forge new connections with leadership executives, owner-operators and trusted advisors across the state. Those deep-rooted relationships are what allow us to proudly serve our communities with the most current, curious and inspiring stories around.

People across Wisconsin are doing incredible things, and that’s exactly what drives us to showcase the vibrancy our regions and state have to offer.

From all of us at The Business News, welcome and thank you – we can’t wait to collaborate with you!
