End of Year Slideshow
This year, our team spent a lot of time outside the confines of the station, visiting communities across the heart of Alabama with our News & Brews events. Our team showed up. We traveled to cities and towns where WBHM has likely never set foot in the past 48 years. Getting out from behind the microphone and discussing the news with our listeners has been a powerful reminder that public media–and WBHM’s work right here in our community–must remain invested in local reporting on issues that affect us all, as well as the art, culture, and events that inspire us.
We hope you’ll enjoy this small sampling of highlights from your local team at WBHM and the Gulf States Newsroom:
