Alternatives Publication Inc. is the parent company of theShepherd Express, the largest locally owned newspaper in Wisconsin, www.ShepherdExpress.com, Express Creative and Shepherd Events. The Shepherd Express was named one of the top companies for employees to work by the Milwaukee Business Journal. We provide a creative, casual, but serious mission driven environment that is working to move Milwaukee forward while being a fun place to work. For example, the Shepherd Express created the original Milwaukee International Film Festival in 2003 and ran it for its first five years because Milwaukee was one of just three of the top 50 American Cities that did not have a major film festival.
