Historically, broadcasters have played a crucial role in informing the public in times of crisis. Between their broadcast signal and digital presence, radio has an unmatched capacity to disseminate news and information when their audience needs it the most.
During the global Coronavirus outbreak, people are anxious and they need radio not only for information, but also for reassurance.
This is especially important at a local level. People need information on school and business closings, local government announcements as well as for instructions and resources.
Update: The CDC is now offering an embeddable microsite that you can easily embed into a page on your website. This microsite is updated regularly with information about COVID-19.
The following video shows OneCMS users ideas on how to create a Coronavirus information page to display local information, resources and stories that you create or ingest from other sources.
After creating this page, you will want to link to it via your homepage, or even create a special link in your website navigation. Then start featuring stories into your new page!
