54 times the North Country went national this year
We talk a lot about ‘punching above our weight’ around here. And then, we go do it. All around the North Country.
This year our team of reporters took North Country reporting to the national stage 54 times (Morning Edition, Here & Now, All Things Considered, The World and National Native News).
We gave local context to nationally debated issues and events like solitary confinement, minimum wage and the Dannemora prison break. We highlighted the beauty and quirkiness of the place we call home by bringing listeners from all over the country to our favorite donut shop, swimming holes and sporting events.
We asked hard questions. We highlighted innovation. We had fun.
And how? With your support. You, our audience, are punching above your weight too. If you’re wondering where your money went last year — it went right here. It made these stories possible.
Help us do again this year. Give right now at www.ncpr.org/give.
And, while you're over at www.ncpr.org take a look at the 54 stories ... No! Make that 63 (we missed a few originally and another NCPR story went national just as this post published)!
