Changes To The Capital Times

The company's most recent change - and one of its most important - took place on April 26, 2008, when The Capital Times published its last daily print edition and became one of the first American daily newspapers to go primarily online. The Capital Times now consists of three separate, interrelated products. The main continuation of The Capital Times is its Web site, captimes.com, which continues the tradition of local, progressive, timely, hard-hitting journalism started by William T. Evjue over 90 years ago. Secondly, a new magazine-style print edition, The Cap Times, features in-depth local news and progressive commentary every Wednesday and is distributed with the Wisconsin State Journal and free via racks around town. And finally, 77 Square, Madison's newest arts, entertainment and culture publication, is published every Thursday and also delivered with the State Journal and rack-distributed free around town.

The Capital Times Co. of Madison acquired WisPolitics.com the online subscription political news service, in February 2011. WisPolitics is operated as a wholly owned subsidiary, with no integration of staff or connection to the editorial philosophy of The Capital Times.
