Students in Northampton Country Public Schools will enjoy new learning activities thanks to an anonymous donation from a local Eastern Shore organization.

As local news coverage has declined in Hampton Roads, WHRO Public Media has worked to fill the gap by expanding its newsroom. We're hearing from community members which issues are most important to them and exploring the ways local journalism adds to the vibrancy of the community.

The price and availability of housing seemingly dominates our community’s conversations, from City Council to the kitchen table.

We're discussing the state of local journalism, and we want YOU to join the conversation. Join us at any one of these events!
