Supporting Local News is
The Right Thing to Do
At a time when traditional ties that build, unite and bond communities have frayed, nonprofit WHAV delivers common cause on-air, online, everywhere.
|
As Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service, WHAV’s information-infused lifeline helps parents learn what’s happening in their children’s classrooms, helps taxpayers judge for themselves whether municipal spending is worthwhile and helps businesses discover a new opportunity or threat.
|
WHAV uncovers and reports more local news, more news that matters and more timely than anyone locally in this age of shrinking newsrooms, media mistrust and widespread social media misinformation. And, it does all this without paywalls or frustrating logins.
