WISC-TV Editorial: Thirty Years of Cameras in the Courts

….Cameras are the portal to that openness for many citizens, a valuable tool to building trust and respect. A lot of people you know were instrumental in creating Wisconsin?s system of access to the courts, Dave Zweifel of the Capital Times, former UW professor Jim Hoyt, former WMTV station manager Don Schmitt, former Milwaukee editorial director Ed Hinshaw and former Supreme Court justice Nate Heffernan to name a few. We owe them all gratitude for keeping Wisconsin a leader in open government and justice for 30 years.
