In tragedy and triumph, local radio and television stations speak to the communities they serve. This Black History Month, hometown reporters provide unique local content and personal connections to national stories.

America’s Stories collects some of the many ways broadcasters across the country are celebrating the Black community and honoring Black history. As Madison Carter, a journalist with the Atticus investigative unit at Atlanta’s 11 Alive News, told TVNewsCheck this month, “If we’re going to tell stories about communities of color, they must be authentic, they must be true to the experiences.”

Broadcasters provide this personal, local connection to the news in communities across the nation every day, covering everything from history and community events to weather and politics. Learn more about their work at WeAreBroadcasters.com.
