A newsroom is a fascinating environment with hourly deadlines and reporters always ready to take their microphones out into the community when breaking news strikes. In the past twenty years, major events have rocked our listening area from deadly tornadoes in Utica and Fairdale, the conviction and subsequent certificate of innocence for Jack McCullough, the arrest of former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell and thousands of stories in between. Staying on top of the news 24/7 requires dedication and curiosity from WNIJ reporters and editors through the years who have made this community more informed along the way.
