Gov. Scott Walker will grant one-on-one interviews to TV reporters throughout the state this week, but has none planned with print publications.

Wisconsin governors of both parties have traditionally granted interviews during the holiday season — typically covering news from the previous year and offering a look ahead to the new one. Walker continued that tradition during his first term, sitting down with individual reporters at the governor's mansion.

"Governor Walker is conducting interviews looking at the year ahead primarily with TV outlets from across the state later this week," said spokeswoman Laurel Patrick in an email.

The governor's office did not explicitly decline interviews with print reporters, but sent versions of that statement in response to their requests.
