Every week on Reporter’s Notebook, WTMJ’s Adam Roberts talks with members of the WTMJ newsroom, as well as reporters from newsrooms from around the state, to get the full picture when it comes to the stories they choose to tell.

On this week’s episode:

  • WTMJ’s Julia Fello shares a behind-the-scenes look at the Wisconsin’s Afternoon News In-Depth special on the future of the Wisconsin Center District, including an exclusive interview with WCD President and CEO Marty Brooks.
  • WTMJ’s Nazir Spencer details two stories involving the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, one on conference realignment and another on a ticketing issue ahead of girl’s state wrestling.
  • WTMJ’s Debbie Lazaga breaks down the annual J.K. Lee Board Break-A-Thon held last weekend at Brookfield Square Mall.
  • A proposed bill would legalize assisted suicide in Wisconsin. How much of a chance does it have to make a meaningful advance through the Legislature?
