Madison Press Connection was a newspaper formed in Madison, Wisconsin in October 1977 by striking union employees from the two dominant daily newspapers, the Wisconsin State Journal and The Capital Times. The Press Connection began as a weekly but became a daily early in 1978 in an effort to intensify pressure on management of Madison Newspapers, Inc. to make concessions to the union. The Press Connection was published through early January 1980 and is available on microfilm, along with 9 boxes of archival business records and photographs, from The State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The archival records document "the survival struggles of this unusual strike newspaper and the operation of this worker-managed cooperative".
