Dear reader,

“People not only don’t know what’s happening to them, they don’t even know that they don’t know.”
― Noam Chomsky

Ugh. We’ve all seen it. That friend on social media who spouts off about outdated news or just spreads rumors or misinformation.

Save them from embarrassment by encouraging them to tune in 97.9 WHAV every weekday for accurate, reliable and trustworthy local news. Even better, remind them they can sign up for the free Wavelengths eNewspaper by sharing this address: whav.net/wavelengths-local-news-daily.

Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service thanks WHAV members and donors who make this free service available because they realize an informed public makes for better neighbors, employees, volunteers, customers, leaders and voters.
