THE HOUSTON COUNTY CLCP AND ITS PARTNERS
Spreading the Word by Radio

The CLCP actively involves the local radio station (WNNG) in its campaign to raise public awareness about literacy. From public service announcements to coverage of Houston County CLCP activities, the station effectively gets the word out about the importance of literacy and the availability of literacy services. Both partners benefit from this relationship. The Houston County CLCP receives well-deserved attention and direct access to the community. The radio station believes that good news is good for the community and good for the station and that the CLCP provides it. As the WNNG representative on the board noted, "People need to and deserve to hear the positive things... those are the things often left out of the news. The CLCP is really good news for the community to hear."
