From:Photos: What Wisconsin’s democracy looked like on Election Day
Wisconsin Watch journalists this year crisscrossed the state — from urban Madison and Milwaukee to rural Grant and Iron counties — to tell the stories that mattered to residents. They chronicled high-stakes elections, tragedies, environmental challenges and issues affecting families’ quality of life.
None of those stories would have resonated without the visual journalism our staff and freelance photographers produced. We begin every major reporting effort by considering how to best communicate it visually. That means accurately capturing the scene and emotions associated with the story — and more broadly allowing people to see themselves and their neighbors in our work.
Here are some of the most memorable images we captured in 2024.
