Reporter’s Notebook – Inside the winning watch party, Wisconsin measles outbreak grows

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

On this week’s episode, WTMJ’s Julia Fello provides her observations from Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s victorious watch party as he was voted Wisconsin’s first Black governor-elect.

Also, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s health and environment reporter Madeline Heim shares her experience talking with mobile healthcare providers in southwest Wisconsin’s Amish and Mennonite communities, which health officials have pinpointed as the centers of a growing measles outbreak in the region.
