About » News Partners

WilmingtonFAVS is dedicated to working with other media to bring you nuanced and in-depth coverage of faith and values news. Currently we have several media partners — Religion News Service, the StarNews, WHQR and SpokaneFAVS.

Religion News Service

For nearly 78 years, Religion News Service has been an authoritative source of news about religion, spirituality and ideas. With a team of correspondents around the world, RNS provides news on religion and its intersections with political and cultural issues. RNS stories are distributed to the nation’s leading newspapers, news magazines, online media outlets, broadcasting firms and religious publications.

 

The StarNews

Our first community partner is The StarNews. Executive editor Robyn Tomlin wrote this of our developing partnership: “Amanda has a unique voice and perspective on the faith community. While we miss having her here in the office, we are so glad our readers will still enjoy the benefits of her reporting. We look forward to working with Religion News and with Amanda as we see how this partnership evolves and grows.”

 

WHQR

Our second community partner is WHQR, 91.3 FM. WHQR is Wilmington, N.C.’s National Public Radio affiliate. WHQR was founded in 1984 by a group of displaced opera lovers, the original Friends of the Opera. Ten years later, it moved into its renovated downtown Wilmington building. WHQR is still known as the small non-profit radio station with a big reputation for unique performances, solid programming and a community spirit that covers southeastern North Carolina. In the station's efforts to offer its audiences a "three-dimensional" radio experience, WHQR co-sponsors the Cinamatique movie series, the Prologue book club and the MC Erny Gallery, along with other local music performances.
