WKMS is always looking for better and smarter ways to connect with listeners and readers where they are: evolving our online streams and services, enhancing our social media efforts, offering a unique smart speaker experience. Connecting with you is vital to us and we want to hear your voice and feedback.
WKMS, along with NPR and other affiliate stations, introduced public comments to our website when we transitioned our online platform several years ago to try to better serve the needs of our listeners. At that time, our social media presence on other platforms was still developing and growing. Now, the vast majority of public feedback we receive comes from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - in addition to good, old-fashioned phone calls.
In an effort to streamline our efforts, WKMS is closing the infrequently-used Disqus feature on stories posted to our website. NPR made a similar decision three years ago. We encourage those who valued this feature to join our many listeners who participate on our more active social media platform. WKMS looks forward to continuously improving our ways to connect with you in the future.
