Storytelling is an essential part of every society. It’s a way to teach, enlighten and connect with each other. It shares wisdom and fosters new ideas.
|
|
WHAV is a storyteller, too. Providing trusted, accurate news and information to our community is at the core of what Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service does. But not everyone realizes how important that is. That’s why we’re asking you to tell that story: the vital importance of a free and independent news source here in Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley during “Public Media Giving Days.” You can be the motivation for someone else, by sharing what inspires you on WHAV. Text, call, or post with #PUBLICMEDIAGIVES and share your favorite stories with everyone!
