Make the Most of It
Giving Tuesday is over, but there is still time to donate to nonprofit WHAV, and for good reason.
|
That’s because it wasn’t that long ago that residents of Essex County in Massachusetts and Rockingham County, N.H., enjoyed local news from a multitude of radio stations, but WHAV is now the only broadcast news outlet serving this vast area.
|
WHAV is part of a national trend of household and small business-supported nonprofit local news services stepping up to fill “news deserts” left after the collapse of other news media. On-air, online, over cable television and via smart apps, only WHAV provides hourly local news; Community Spotlight; live, daily interviews with newsmakers; government meetings; and more.
|
|
WHAV punches above its weight thanks to your support. Share Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service with your neighbors, co-workers, bosses and others. Suggest they become a WHAV member here.
