Dear reader,

On #GivingTuesday, It’s About Staying True to your Values

WHAV’s local news reporting is about disseminating truth; holding people, government and organizations accountable; and helping nonprofits and civic organizations get the word out about enriching, critical and—many times—lifesaving programs and services.

It is such an important and solemn duty that our nation’s founders enshrined freedom of the press in the Constitution’s bill of rights.

WHAV listeners and readers are blessed that so many of their business leaders and neighbors put their money where their mouths are. To use an old axiom, these giants of the community know if they’re going to talk the talk, they’ve got to walk the walk. They support Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service because they are true to their values.
