The expanded WPKN newscast will focus on state legislative sessions and local politics, immigration rights, climate and environmental concerns, economic inequality, poverty, and cost of living issues, and reproductive rights. Broadcasts will include diverse voices from the respective communities and direct reporting from the field.

WPKN’s expanded local news coverage is in part a response to the greater geopolitical significance of world events on the lives of our community at the local, state and national levels. In times of rising media consolidation and local news deserts, the WPKN daily newscast aims to provide a platform for critical stories that may otherwise go unreported.
