About this episode
This week on Reporter's Notebook, WTMJ's Nazir Spencer recounts the unusual end to a Milwaukee Department of Emergency Communications press conference that left reporters with more questions than answers about a mishandled 9-1-1 call involving a 99-year-old woman attacked in her own home. Also, WTMJ Community Reporter Tory Lowe learns more about Shamarla Hare, whose mother says died standing up for herself in the face of accused murderer Thomas Zollicoffer. And WTMJ's Steve Scaffidi chats with a trio of African journalists who recently visited the WTMJ newsroom.
