WKSU is committed to serving the community's information needs.
Several foundations joined together last fall to invite local media to pursue collaborative projects that could meet the basic information needs of often underserved communities.
In their call for ideas, the foundations (Cleveland Foundation, Akron Community Foundation, Knight Foundation and The Center for Community Solutions) expressed an interest in "projects that provide actionable information that people need and can use."
WKSU was awarded a grant to work with The Plain Dealer and Spectrum News1 Ohio to produce content around the topics of evictions and infant mortality.
