If you live in Milwaukee, or just love the city and all of the great work happening here, how many times have you thought to yourself “I wish our news media would cover more than just the latest shooting…” Perhaps you stay away from downtown Milwaukee because you see violence on the news each morning. Or, maybe you decided not to send your children to Milwaukee Public Schools because of stories you’ve read in the paper.

If you recognize yourself in these descriptions, you should add Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (NNS) to your daily routine. Milwaukee NNS prides itself on offering a balanced view of Milwaukee’s neighborhoods by speaking with residents about all of the issues that face the community, with a focus on new initiatives and programs being implemented, and community successes. 

Today on Living Local, we talk with Edgar Mendez, Beat Reporter for the Milwaukee NNS. Edgar lives on the South Side and covers stories all around the city, talking to residents about the latest education initiatives and other big issues like the recent unrest in Sherman Park and the City’s response to high lead levels in our water.

To read the latest on all that is happening in Milwaukee neighborhoods, and to learn how you can support the great work of Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, visit www.Milwaukeenns.org.
