Finger Printing and Publishing Inc. has recently acquired a group of five weekly newspapers in Wisconsin, including The Berlin Journal, Green Lake Reporter, Markesan Regional Reporter, Princeton Times-Republic, and Omro Herald, along with a free weekly advertising publication called The Billboard. The financial details of the transaction have not been made public. This expansion aligns with the company's growth strategy, as Tom Finger, managing partner of Finger Printing and Publishing based in Black Earth, expressed enthusiasm about integrating these newspapers into their portfolio, noting their similarity to existing publications.

The Berlin Journal Newspapers are operated by Ty Gonyo, son of veteran publisher Robert Gonyo.
