We received an email the other day that made us smile. It came from all the way across the country where residents face the same issues addressed in our documentary .
"Greetings from the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
We are pleased to have received the program Saving The Sierra thru Creative PR (Editor's note: our national marketing firm, which is doing a great job BTW) . WJSK would like to play the program for members of Conservation units in the Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire, an area covered by this Radio station and also inundated by "Vacation Home " construction. We are adjacent to the White Mountain National Forest, which, were it not for Federal Legislation a few decades ago, would be empty of its natural setting. I would like to gather local voices concerned about our region to sit in and do commentary, followed by your program."--Frank Pingree, GM
This is what it's all about, folks--making the connection. I was just thrilled to think how our stories will inspire folks in New Hampshire to share their stories and concerns about their environment, economy and culture *because of* their local broadcaster. What a great use of community media! What a great example of sustaining communities by connecting people through media!
Congratulations WJSK! We applaud your community involvement. I hope some of your listeners will comment here to let us know what happened.
