Today marks the first Rural Voices Day, an initiative of the Alliance for Rural Public Media.
The nationwide observance highlights the role of local public radio stations in serving rural communities with news, emergency information, and community programming.
Rural Voices Day is celebrated each year on March 4. The effort encourages listeners to share stories about how local media informs and connects people, especially in areas where resources and access to information can be limited.
Organizers say the day is intended to recognize the work of local stations that provide trusted information and serve as community gathering points for listeners across rural America.
Stations across the country are marking the day by sharing stories from listeners and highlighting the role public media plays in their communities.
WVUB is honored to serve this community and celebrate Rural Voices Day.
