How to Send News or Contact Tomahawk Leader

Updated

Tomahawk Leader accepts reader submissions through a "Send us your news!" menu on its website, which lists four options: Letters to the Editor, News Tip, Obituary, and Announcement. The site header also provides direct Advertise and Contact links for business and general inquiries. If you want to reach the newsroom rather than submit a specific item, use the Contact link; if you have something to publish, start with the submission type that matches your item.

Submission options under "Send us your news!"

The site groups reader contributions into four labeled paths:

Option Use it for
Letters to the Editor Opinion pieces and responses intended for publication as letters
News Tip Passing along information about something happening in the area
Obituary Submitting a death notice or obituary
Announcement Community announcements such as events, achievements, or notices

Each option appears as its own entry in the menu, so you choose the one that fits your item rather than sending a general message and hoping it gets routed.

Contacting the paper for advertising or general questions

Two header links handle non-submission contact:

  • Advertise — for advertising inquiries and rates.
  • Contact — for general questions, corrections, or reaching the publication directly.

Both sit in the top navigation alongside Log in, Search, and Subscribe, so they are reachable from any page without digging through menus.

Finding past coverage before you submit

If your tip or letter references earlier reporting, the site's Advanced search lets you look up prior articles. Checking first helps you avoid duplicating a story the paper already ran and lets you cite the specific piece you are responding to.

What the newsroom covers

Knowing the beat helps you target your submission. Recent front-page items show the range:

  • Local government and public safety — a Lincoln County Sheriff's Report, a civil rights lawsuit settlement involving an Oneida County deputy, and a public forum on election reform hosted with the T.B. Scott Free Library.
  • Community and business — a housing development groundbreaking in Tomahawk.
  • Sports — Green Bay Packers coverage, including a column on Ted Fritsch and post-game analysis.
  • Health and institutions — Aspirus Health donating retired ultrasound systems from Aspirus Tomahawk Hospital to Concordia University Wisconsin.

Submissions tied to Tomahawk and the surrounding Lincoln and Oneida County area fit the paper's focus most directly.

A practical note on access

The site shows a Subscribe link and a Web Extras section organized into topic pages (Agriculture, Automotive, Books, Business, Education & Careers, Entertainment, Food, Gardening, and more). Some of that material sits behind the premium structure, so if you are trying to reference a specific premium article in a letter or tip, confirm you can open it first — otherwise describe the item by headline and date instead of quoting it.
