Beware of ‘Hit and Run’ News
WHAV—on-air, online, via the daily Wavelengths eNewspaper, everywhere—provides consistent coverage of local news that most impacts residents of Greater Haverhill.
|
Unfortunately, some distant profiteers and even some so-called social media “influencers” will push out a provocative first responders’ item or misleading local government story on social media. These hit and run “click bait” items bring short-term gain to such purveyors. It also creates long-term harm by re-arranging social media feeds and distracting residents from genuine pocketbook, education or quality of life issues.
|
Support reliable, regular local news reporting without the hype or nod to special interests by following Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news.
