2018 LOCAL CONTENT AND SERVICE REPORT
STORIES OF IMPACT
Community Outreach
An area of outreach that creates a large impact is our
station tours. WEFS welcomes various groups that
request a tour to learn about our facility. It also affords an
opportunity for both WEFS and our viewers to make a
personal connection with each other. The station provides
educational and current event programs for use by adults
for course of study. Viewers appreciate knowing they are
valued and that their points of view matter. We always
look forward to our visitors becoming more invested in
their local Public Television station. The station has
launched a partnership with the Eastern Florida State
College radio and television department to provide its
students the understand of television operations and
internship programs
WEFS offers tours to student groups to
allow them to explore the workings of
a television station. A behind-the-
scenes look at our facilities and talking
with our staff about their jobs allow
the students to gain some insight into
what a career in television
broadcasting may be like. Some
student visitors are involved in video
production projects at their own
schools and may learn some
production techniques they can put to
use in class.
