VIDEO: On this episode of Newsmakers, host Louie Butko is joined by The Hamilton Spectator’s long-time crime reporter Jon Wells.
Among the topics discussed in their wide-ranging conversation include his recent feature “Unclaimed,” which dives into the shocking increase in the people who go unclaimed by next of kin after passing away and his new reporting on former “ISIL Bride” and Hamilton-native Kimberley Polman currently facing terrorism charges in a B.C. Court.
The two also discussed changes in the newspaper business over his time in the industry and how the Spectator has managed to pull through recent challenges.
