Rockton-Roscoe News is the first daily all-news outlet for farthest northern Winnebago County, IL since the area was settled 190 years ago. A separate publication, The Herald, began in Rockton in the 1870s, on a weekly schedule. Roscoe has never had its own newspaper, though The Herald was known as the Rockton-Roscoe Herald in the 1980s and 1990s. The Beloit Daily News, which also serves South Beloit, began in the 1840s. In June 1995, it became Wisconsin's first newspaper web site with daily local news. Rockton-Roscoe News remains the only locally owned outlet of the three.
