- Description:
- In this installment of "What's doing in Western Michigan," Dr. Willis Dunbar uses the start of the new year as an opportunity to reflect on the local newspapers which provide source information for the show and describes the purpose and programming of WKZO. Dunbar asserts that "big city newspapers" which report on war, politics, and crime do not fully represent the fabric of America as do small town newspapers. Dunbar also argues that newspapers and radio are not in competition, but rather complement each other and help each other build audiences.
