2017: A Year of Change and
Community Engagement
Our Leadership Giving donors' generosity makes it possible for us to be an independent, informative and inclusive voice for Connecticut. During the past year, we have been a trusted voice for journalism, civil discourse, informative storytelling and accessible educational programming. Some of our key accomplishments are highlighted below.

Reporting from New Haven
Our exciting educational partnership with Gateway Community College creates a robust presence for WNPR in New Haven and expands our educational programming and opportunities for shoreline reporting.
Telling Rebuilding Stories from Puerto Rico
We're telling the stories of residents of Puerto Rico with ties to Connecticut through a new special reporting initiative of WNPR and the New England News Collaborative.

Exploring New Territory: Radio for the Deaf
WNPR piloted a program to improve accessibility of public radio to the deaf and hearing impaired. We produced 24 ASL-accessible episodes with interpreters from the American School for the Deaf.
Extending Educational Opportunities
The Learning Lab's partnership with Hartford Public Schools' Journalism and Media Academy is giving students opportunities to create quality content, tell their own stories, and increase ownership over their education.
