Some local news stories are more important than others and must take priority so readers and listeners are properly informed and able to evaluate their leaders.
|
WHAV strives to bring order to the daily chaos, putting aside falsehoods from mischief makers on social media and bringing the public more local news, more news that matters and news that audiences can act upon and, in many cases, take to the bank.
