Good afternoon folks,
Dave Davies here. My career has taken many turns, and I've worn many hats throughout it — but I always seemed to find my way back to WHYY. From my early days as a reporter, to more than two decades (and counting!) doing interviews on Fresh Air, my passion for WHYY only grows with time.
All these years later, WHYY remains a top source for news about our region — for me and so many others. At a time when newsrooms across the country are being reduced to skeleton crews and fake news is polluting our inboxes with deceptive disinformation, trustworthy reporting like WHYY’s is an invaluable community resource — especially during an election year.
I got my start at WHYY as a political reporter in the 80s, so I got to witness firsthand the vital role fair, balanced journalism plays in upholding democracy.
Will you join me in supporting this crucial work by making a donation to WHYY in honor of Show Your Love Day? Every dollar supports the news you rely on and the programming you love, giving the gift of quality news and entertainment for people throughout our region.
And today, each donation goes towards a $10,000 challenge from a generous couple from Wyndmoor. However, we will only receive the additional funds if you donate now.
Your support ensures the place where I've loved working for so long will remain a pillar in our region for years to come. I can't thank you enough.
Dave Davies
