NH Public Radio’s new video series, “Your Neighbors, Your News,” introduces you to many of the nearly two dozen talented NHPR reporters, editors, hosts and producers who not only bring you the news that matters most in New Hampshire each day, but are your neighbors in the Granite State, committed to digging for answers you need to better understand our changing state.
In this video campaign, viewers will get to know:
Youth and education reporter Annmarie Timmins, who explores how students and families navigate challenges in their daily lives, and how funding and technology affect education in New Hampshire.
Health and equity reporter Olivia Richardson, who wants to hear your questions about health care in New Hampshire.
The familiar voices of NHPR’s news magazine Morning Edition, Rick Ganley and Jackie Harris, who greet you on air every morning with credibility, humor and humility.
Long-form audio investigations from the reporters who make up NHPR’s Document team, Lauren Chooljian and Jason Moon, the team behind the locally produced and nationally recognized podcasts Bear Brook and The 13th Step.
And many more of NHPR’s local editorial staff.
You can explore the entire “Your Neighbors, Your News,” video series on YouTube.
This campaign was brought to life in partnership with wedü, a Manchester-based digital marketing agency, and will feature short-form video interviews with more than a dozen people from NHPR’s editorial team.
“Our slogan is ‘News from New Hampshire and NPR.’ While we’re proud to carry news reports from across the country and all over the world, it’s covering New Hampshire that’s core to NHPR’s mission,” said Jim Schachter, NHPR’s president and CEO. “NHPR has the state’s biggest editorial staff, its only reporting team dedicated to long-form journalism, and its only Spanish-language news report. All of that journalism is community supported and pursued in the public interest.”
According to an NHPR press release announcing the new series, “Your Neighbors, Your News” began with an effort to increase transparency and trust with NHPR’s audience.
“Great journalism starts with dedicated people,” said NHPR News Director Dan Barrick. “We hope that by getting to know the people behind NHPR’s journalism, our audience can get a better sense of how we approach our mission of telling New Hampshire’s stories with humanity and passion.”
