As we make summer plans for our summer getaways it is important to support those who inform our communities. WITI Fox6 Milwaukee employs many photographers and editors who cover the area daily rain or shine. They cover our community but as with many issues impacting journalists impartiality means they cannot loudly advocate for their own causes; as journalists we are told we must cover the story not become it.
From coverage at Summerfest to investigations and crime, these news crews put themselves out there in the 'field' everyday to make sure we stay informed. It's through the lens of workers at WITI and other local news station stations that connect with our community when we want decide that today we will just stay on the couch, or how we stay connected in touch when we are on the road via the local news website.
Journalism is more important then ever, and supporting those who bring us the news is vital. Many may not have realized that workers at Fox 6 have taken days of action, June 19, to bring attention to their pay and other working conditions.

While you may see a lot of stories on local television, this may not get the attention it needs, but impacts what you see. If you see a news photographer or reporter thank them for what they do, and maybe ask if there is 'news' that affects them personally, that's likely a story you won't see on air.
