 In 2004, the "News-Chronicle" was taken over by "Press-Gazette" publisher, Gannett, who closed it in 2005.Its sports section includes extensive coverage of the local NFL franchise, the Green Bay Packers; since Gannett's purchase of the "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel" in 2016, both papers now feature joint coverage of the team from the writers of both papers.On March 24, 2012, seven "Press-Gazette" employees were among 25 Gannett employees in Wisconsin who were disciplined by Gannett for signing the petition to recall Governor Scott Walker.
