viewers and visitors to wttw.com/news will see us doing more investigative reporting, essential community-driven storytelling, and real-time solutions-oriented journalism. We will report stories you won’t see anywhere else, stories that directly impact lives and move the dialogue forward on local issues of consequence and concern.
Our new space and the technology that supports it is flexible and dynamic, and paves the way for presenting complex stories in a digestible, engaging way. The surrounding monitors and visuals on the new set serve as a backdrop that can change depending on the story, the time of year, the number of interview guests, and what we want the viewer to take away.
Are there examples of the kind of investigative work that you’ve done of which you are especially proud, and that we can expect to see more of?
