About us
Until 2008, the Cap Times published a newspaper Mondays through Saturdays. The paper ceased daily paper publication with its April 26, 2008 edition and became a primarily Internet-based daily news operation while continuing to publish twice-weekly free paper supplements.
We began publishing as an afternoon daily on Dec. 13, 1917, competing directly with the Wisconsin State Journal, Madisons other daily newspaper. The Cap Times founder, William T. Evjue, previously served as managing editor and business manager of the State Journal, a paper that had been a supporter of the progressive Robert La Follette, whom Evjue considered a hero. When La Follette began publicly opposing World War I, the pro-war State Journal abandoned La Follette.
In response, Evjue abandoned the State Journal and formed his own newspaper, The Capital Times, one that would reflect the progressive views he espoused. The newspapers motto was and continues to be "Wisconsins Progressive Newspaper."
