WTMJ’s Reporter’s Notebook takes a deeper dive on some of the biggest stories of the week, as told by the reporters covering the news. The show also explores stories that deserve an extra examination.
This week, TMJ4’s Jenna Rae explains the editorial decision to show unedited video of a collision on Water Street in downtown Milwaukee that severely injured two young women the night of July 20th.
Also, former WTMJ assignment editor Alex Crowe and reporter Tony Bettack look back on the station’s coverage of the 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin following the shooting of Jacob Blake and subsequent double deadly shooting involving Kyle Rittenhouse.
