A Century of Connection.
Keeping you informed and rooted in your community for the last 100 years.

Founded in 1926 by brothers Milton and James Wick with the purchase of the Niles Daily Times, Wick Communications has evolved from a small Midwest operation into a multi-generational media staple. Over the last century, the company has expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions across the United States while maintaining a deep commitment to civic leadership and journalistic integrity. From reporting behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War to pioneering award-winning digital initiatives, the Wick family has consistently adapted to the changing media landscape.


“As a third-generation Wick family member, I’m proud of the legacy and difference our newspapers mean to their respective communities.”

– Francis Wick, Board Member & President
