Do You ‘Give at the Office?’
There was a time when large employers worked with the United Way to encourage employees to give to charity through payroll deductions.
|
Major donors, such as employees of the Merrimack Valley Works of Western Electric in North Andover, helped popularize the phrase, “I gave at the office.” While programs still exist on a much less aggressive scale, employers also subsidized local news by taking out newspaper and magazine subscriptions with coffee table copies distributed throughout their enterprises.
|
Today, employers, perhaps without realizing it, subsidize national news through cable television fees. Big screens have replaced coffee table publications, while people are woefully uninformed about local concerns. Encourage your employer to support local news by voluntarily subscribing to WHAV News monthly by signing up here. Every staffer can receive WHAV’s daily Wavelengths eNewspaper.
