Dave Reid
Publisher, and co-founder, Urban Milwaukee, Inc.
Dave currently lives in East Town and has become a strong advocate for urbanist ideals. In 2008 he started the organization UWM Downtown in an attempt to convince UWM that expansion of UWM’s College of Engineering and Applied Science should be located in downtown Milwaukee, not in Wauwatosa. In October 2009 he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Friends of Lakeshore State Park. He believes for Milwaukee to grow we need to improve mass transit, encourage density, and promote place making.

Bruce Murphy
Editor, Urban Milwaukee, Inc.
Murphy served seven years as editor of Milwaukee Magazine and three years as a senior enterprise reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, where he did numerous front page stories, including exposes of a generous state pension plan hatched by Gov. Tommy Thompson (which earned him a lifetime increase in his pension of more than $100,000) and a hard-hitting series on corporate executive pay.
Murphy was an online innovator, as co-founder and editor/writer of the website MilwaukeeWorld.com, and has TV credentials as well, having worked as a reporter for the WMVS-TV show “Interchange.” He also forged a path in alternative weeklies, as editor of the upstart Metro Milwaukee Weekly in the late 1990s, until the paper was purchased by the Shepherd Express, where Murphy served as editor in 1999. He also had a two-year stint with the Madison alt weekly Isthmus in the mid-1980s, where he was an arts and entertainment editor and occasional political columnist.
Murphy has won more than 30 national and state writing awards, including the national Champion Tuck award (1984) for outstanding reporting on economic issues (fellow winners that year were Walter Cronkite, National Public Radio and the New York Times). He’s received nine White Awards from the City and Regional Magazine Association, including back-to-back honors for investigative writing in 1995-1996, and more than a dozen from the state-wide competition of the Milwaukee Press Club.
