Longtime WISN 12 News journalist Mike Anderson, who began his career at Milwaukee’s WISN in 1981, has passed away, the station reported today. He was 67.
“I worked with Mike for more than 20 years. The reporter/photojournalist relationship is one that goes beyond being a Co-worker,” WISN 12 News Chief Photojournalist Jason Hunter said to WISN 12 News. “You have a bond that is unlike that of any other profession. As a team you must endure covering the best of times, and the worst of times. Delivering both good and bad news to your viewers. Mike was one of the best journalists I’ve ever worked with, but beyond that, he was an even better human being. A day working with Mike was always a pleasure, even if it was a bad day, Mike always found the bright side of things. He made us all better journalists, and better people. RIP my friend. You will be missed.”
WISN 12 News Director Ben Hart shared the news with station staff Tuesday morning.
