Description

We’re taking you into newsrooms at community radio stations around the country. Federal funding, a critical resource for these news rooms is no longer. What does that mean for the local news listeners tune in to hear and the people behind the scenes producing it?

Today, we’re taking you to the small town of Whitesburg, Kentucky in the heart of Appalachia. To a station without a designated news team, trying to build a news room in the wake of setback after setback. KVMR News speaks with Jared Hamilton, Programming Coordinator at WMMT 

and the only current full-time staff at the station.
