WHRO’s newsroom is exploring why housing in Hampton Roads is so expensive and why so many residents struggle to find and pay for safe, quality housing and is seeking input from the community.

Go behind the scenes to see the making of unique performance that came to Hampton Roads in the spring of 2022. The InHEIRitance Project: EXODUS: Homecoming was a play co-created through conversations with the community. Watch the film.

WHRO Public Media recently won several awards from the Virginia Broadcast Association. We are excited to celebrate these achievements.

Sherby Wilks began her career at WHRO Public Media as a clerk/typist, but she has held many positions since then. She recently retired after nearly 37 years of service.
