Building community: The Lansing Journal brand

The Lansing Journal is the only newspaper in Lansing, Illinois. We are in the business of building community in our region by keeping people informed and connected.

A message to our readers

Our “building community” promise means that you get news about your community from people who are part of your community. Each byline and photo credit is the name of a local person who stands behind his or her work.

Lansing is a diverse community, and we are intentional about sharing news that includes all of Lansing. We want The Lansing Journal to be a news source you look forward to reading — whether you are an old-timer or a newcomer; whether you are white collar or blue collar; whether you are black, brown, or white; whether you are young or old.

A message to our advertisers

If you are a local business, church, school, or other organization, The Lansing Journal can provide you with targeted advertising opportunities that achieve measurable results. Our affordable advertising options allow you to reach larger markets even with a smaller marketing budget.

We won’t promise you results unless we are confident we can deliver. We won’t push to close a sale unless it will help your business as well as ours.
