About Us
Your Community, Your News.
Welcome to Windmill Media! Our name was inspired by the windmills that once stood as centers of town life, harnessing a natural force to power and sustain the community. In that same spirit, we aim to harness the power of communication to inform, connect, and empower our local towns and villages.
We know it’s getting harder to find out what’s happening in our own backyards. With traditional newsrooms shrinking, many of us feel disconnected from the local decisions that affect our families, our taxes, and our quality of life.
We’re here to change that.
As an all-digital news source based in Frankfort, Illinois, we focus 100% of our energy on bringing you the news that matters most, right where you are—on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Here’s what you’ll find at Windmill Media:
-
The Full Story on Local Government: From the school board’s budget to the park district’s new project and what’s happening at the county board committees. We cover it all so you don’t have to.
-
Go Team! Complete high school sports coverage, including updated calendars so you never miss a game.
-
What’s Happening? The most complete local and regional events calendar around.
-
You’re Part of the Story: Submit your own news tips and events, post in our classifieds, and help us keep everyone in the loop!
-
Plus: Essential state and national headlines, and local weather alerts to keep you safe.
We built Windmill Media because we believe in the power of local connection. We hope you’ll make us your daily stop for everything happening in our wonderful community.
