Keep WHAV’s ‘Early Warning System’ in Second Quarter
WHAV provides the only continuing coverage of city government, schools, housing construction and more with the aim of giving residents an early warning system.
|
Only WHAV informs residents ahead of time while there is still time to weigh in on critical pocketbook and quality of life issues. It is important to tell people what’s coming up rather than tell them what they missed and can’t change. WHAV listeners and readers know incidental after-the-fact news coverage occasionally found elsewhere doesn’t cut it.
|
It is the end of the month and end of the first quarter of 2025—an important time to support original and comprehensive local news reporting in the months ahead.
