You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.164.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Journal Media Group''' (formerly '''Journal Communications''') was a [[Milwaukee]], [[Wisconsin]]-based [[newspaper]] publishing company. The company's roots were first established in 1882 as the owner of its namesake, the ''[[Milwaukee Journal]]'', and expanded into broadcasting with the establishment of [[WTMJ (AM)|WTMJ radio]] and [[WTMJ-TV]], and the acquisition of other television and radio stations.

On April 1, 2015, the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] acquired Journal Communications, and [[Corporate spin-off|spun out]] the publishing operations of both Scripps and Journal into a new company known as Journal Media Group. It is led by Timothy E. Stautberg—the former head of Scripps' newspaper business, joined by previous Journal CEO Stephen J. Smith as a chairman. In 2016, Journal Media Group was acquired by [[Gannett]].

==History==
The ''[[Milwaukee Journal]]'' was started in 1882, in competition with four other English-language, four German- and two Polish-language dailies. It launched [[WTMJ-AM]] (620) in 1927, and [[WTMJ-TV]] (Channel 4) in 1947. '''The Journal Company''', until then primarily owned by local interests, introduced an [[employee-owned corporation|employee stock trust plan]] in 1937, and as a result most Journal stock was eventually held by its employees (under certain restrictions). A small bloc of Journal stock was given to [[Harvard]] to fund the [[Nieman Fellowship]] program for promising journalists, and another bloc was still held by the original owning families until the [[Initial public offering|IPO]].

The ''[[Milwaukee Sentinel]]'', begun in 1837 as a weekly published by city co-founder [[Solomon Juneau]], passed through the hands of several owners before being sold to the [[Hearst Corporation]] in 1924. Hearst operated the Sentinel until 1962, when, following a long and costly strike, it abruptly announced the closing of the paper. Although Hearst claimed that the paper had lost money for years, The Journal Company, concerned about the loss of an important voice (and facing questions about its own dominance of the Milwaukee media market), agreed to buy the Sentinel name, subscription lists, and [[goodwill (accounting)|goodwill]] associated with the name. In 1995 the Journal and Sentinel were consolidated. The new [[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|''Journal Sentinel'']] then became a seven-day morning paper. In 1964, Journal Communications bought a part interest in Perry Printing, a commercial printer specializing in printing magazines, catalogs and free-standing inserts for publications.<ref>[http://www.perryjudds.com/about/history/default.asp About Perry Printing], perryjudds.com; accessed January 22, 2015.</ref> A decade later, in 1974, it purchased the remaining shares of the company. In 1995, it sold the operation (which by then had about 1000 employees and sales of $123 million) to the Milhous Group of California.<ref>[http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:TVhUEqFMFl8J:findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4207/is_19950127/ai_n10182933+%22Perry+Printing%22&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4&client=firefox-a Perry Printing sold to Milhous Group], google.com; accessed January 22, 2015.</ref>
 
[[File:Journal Communications logo.png|thumb|200px|Former logo of the company]]
In 1968, the Midwestern Relay cable transmission division of the Journal Company was developed out of broadcast-related expertise; in 1991, Midwestern Relay acquired Norlight, a fiber-optic private carrier, and adopted the Norlight name. On February 26, 2007 Journal Communications sold the regional telecommunications provider to privately held Q-Comm Corp of [[Delaware]]. Upon closing the transaction, Q-Comm terminated Jim Ditter, who had been president of Norlight since 1995, and chief financial officer Phillip Garvey. What is now known as the Journal Community Publishing Group began in [[Waupaca, Wisconsin]] in 1972 as a publishing and printing company called Add Inc. A majority interest was purchased by Journal Communications in 1981, and the remainder in 1986. In June 2007, Journal Communications sold off its JCP interests in [[Louisiana]], [[Ohio]], [[Connecticut]] and [[Vermont]]. The sales brought in a combined $30 million.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.journalcommunications.com|access-date=January 22, 2015))</ref>

The company sold 11 community newspapers, five shoppers and two printing plants in Connecticut and Vermont to [[Hersam Acorn Newspapers]]. In Ohio, Journal sold eight shoppers, numerous specialty print products and the Advantage Press commercial printing business to [[Gannett|Gannett Company]]. It also sold its Louisiana-based publishing business to a Target Media Partners affiliate. In 1999 Journal Communications acquired the Great Empire radio group (13 radio stations in 4 states). The corporation had its [[initial public offering]] of Class A shares in 2003. For decades, Journal Communications was criticized<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090113204339/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,879032,00.html "Duel in Milwaukee"], time.com, January 3, 1972.</ref><ref>Hoffmann, Gregg.

On July 30, 2014, it was announced that Journal would be acquired by the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] in an all-stock transaction. Scripps would retain the two firms' broadcasting properties, while both the Scripps and Journal print properties would be spun off as Journal Media Group.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.jsonline.com/business/news31-b99321641z1-269303021.html|title=Journal, Scripps deal announced|last=Glauber|first=Bill|date=30 July 2014|work=[[Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]]|access-date=July 30, 2014))</ref> The FCC approved the deal on December 12, 2014, and it was approved by shareholders on March 11, 2015.<ref name=mbj-scrippsapproved>((cite web|title=Journal, Scripps shareholders OK transaction; closing expected by early April|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2015/03/11/journal-scripps-shareholders-ok-transaction.html|website=Milwaukee Business Journal|access-date=11 March 2015))</ref> The merger and spin-off were finalized on April 1, 2015; Stephen J.

==Controversies==
Before its merger with Journal, the papers of E. W. Scripps were known for having several controversies within the newspapers it ran.

[[Hugo Zacchini]] performed a [[human cannonball]] act in 1972 at the [[Geauga County Fair]] in [[Burton, Ohio]]. Scripps television station [[WEWS-TV]] recorded and aired the entire act against his wishes and without compensating him, as was required by [[Personality rights#United States|Ohio law]]. In ''[[Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard Broadcasting Co.]]'', the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment did not shield the broadcaster from liability from [[Common law copyright#State law copyright claims|common law copyright]] claims.<ref>((cite web|author=White, Byron|title=HUGO ZACCHINI, PETITIONER, V. SCRIPPS-HOWARD BROADCASTING COMPANY.|url=https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/433/562|work=[[Legal Information Institute]]|publisher=[[Cornell Law School]]|date=June 28, 1977|access-date=April 27, 2014|author-link=Byron White))</ref>

''The Commercial Appeal'' posted a controversial database listing Tennessee residents with permits to carry handguns in 2008.<ref>((cite news|title =  Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Database | url = http://www.commercialappeal.com/data/gunpermits/ | work = The Commercial Appeal | location = Memphis | date = November 8, 2008 | access-date = 2009-06-29 | author = public record))</ref> The database is a public record in [[Tennessee]], but had not previously been posted online.

Scripps owns and operates the ''Ventura County Star'', which has faced many complaints involving its circulation practices rather than its editorial content. As of April 2, 2011, the Better Business Bureau listed ten (10) separate "significant" complaints from the previous three years, of which two alleged the company made unauthorized debits from customers' checking accounts, four alleged problems obtaining refunds, two alleged the company harassed a customer or former customer, two alleged improper billing, and two alleged delivery continuing after customers tried to cancel.<ref name="complaints">[http://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/PublicComplaints.aspx?CompanyID=306300 "Significant Complaints"] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929125714/http://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/PublicComplaints.aspx?CompanyID=306300 |date=2011-09-29 )), The Better Business Bureau of Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, Inc.</ref> (The total number of allegations does not add to the total number of complaints because two complaints made multiple allegations.)

In May 2013, Scripps News Service discovered and published a security breach on the websites of Oklahoma-based TerraCom Inc. and an affiliate, YourTel America Inc. in which the personal information of tens of thousands of low-income Americans was publicly exposed. In response, the two companies accused Scripps of "hacking" and of violations of the [[Computer Fraud and Abuse Act]].<ref>((cite news | title = My Social Security Number Is Posted Where? | date = May 21, 2013 | url = https://www.npr.org/2013/05/21/185788193/my-social-security-number-is-posted-where | work = [[NPR]] | access-date = May 21, 2013))</ref> The Illinois Attorney General [[Lisa Madigan]] subsequently announced an investigation into the two companies.<ref>((cite news | title = Illinois AG to review online privacy breach | date = May 21, 2013 | url = http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/may/21/illinois-ag-to-review-online-privacy-breach/ | work = [[Knoxville News Sentinel]] | access-date = May 21, 2013))</ref>
