August 18th is a landmark day here at WJCU because it marks the launch of Heights Now, a weekly community news segment produced in partnership with HeightsObserver.org, a non-profit citizen-driven print and online news publication serving the cities of Cleveland Heights and University Heights.
Each week, Heights Now will present a look at a story or issue of interest to the Heights community, drawing on the citizen reporting resources of HeightsObserver.org, and produced for broadcast/podcast by JCU alum Nate Marinchick. Those of you that listen to commercial radio in Cleveland may recognize Nate from his day job, but may not know that he served with distinction as a WJCU student director over eight years ago, and we’re delighted to have him rejoin the ranks as executive producer of Heights Now.
Each weekly installment of Heights Now will be presented once daily Monday through Friday during The Heights 88.7. But better still, each segment will be archived and available as a podcast, both on wjcu.org and the HeightsObserver.org website – which we strongly recommend visiting!
We at WJCU believe that Heights Now is just the first step in building a new relationship with our community. Let us know what you think at wjcuinfo(@)gmail.com.
