Biography[]

Background[]

Mike Fletcher is a general assignment reporter for the Metro desk of the paper.[1] He is often called Fletch. He is a talented writer but sometimes struggles to submit his work in time for deadlines.[1] Fletch has a relaxed approach to his work and a sometimes flippant attitude.[1] While he is still young he is savvy enough to know that a victim's background is more important than good writing in getting a murder story on the front page.[1]

Season 5[]

Fletch's failure to meet deadlines brings him a reproach from City Desk Editor Gus Haynes. ("More with Less")

Tasked by Gus to write more freely about the homeless (following Mcnulty's serial killer developments), Fletch meets Bubbles at a soup kitchen. ("Took")
