Reason #7: Perspectives

Marnie O. Mamminga

WNIJ is asking listeners to share their favorite things about the station as we celebrate our 30th anniversary. One listener called to let us know she loves Perspectives, which deliver “a lot of viewpoints I had never even considered!”

These 90-second essays are an important part of WNIJ’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered broadcasts. Twenty regular contributors plus guest commentators tackle issues important to our region – and sometimes, they just share a good story. During the pandemic, these committed Perspectives authors even learned to record in their own makeshift home studios.

It’s not easy to squeeze your passionate opinions into a minute and a half – give it a try! Send your script tonpr@niu.eduand we’ll help you share your perspective with your fellow listeners.
