Local News Matters, Journalism Where You Live

Taylor Bishop of WDEF TV12 in Chattanooga, Tennessee

I want to offer appreciation to local news journalists who are keeping us informed about what is going on in our backyards during these days of Coronavirus and now tornadoes and severe weather. Everywhere there is local information that needs to be reported. The news in your area matters and can impact your life in a profound way. These reporters really do deserve our thanks.
