⚓️Three months flew by way too fast with our 352today reporting intern Elora. She embodies the characteristics of what we look for in our team and fit right in from the start.

We're confident she will accomplish G.R.E.A.T. things.

Please help us celebrate this young woman - Elora Pfriender.

She’s been a reporting intern with us at 352today for the last 3+ months. Elora is a junior at the College of Central Florida majoring in writing & rhetoric.

She’s been OUTSTANDING - efficient, detail-oriented and team player.

That’s why she’s the recipient of our parent company Saga Communications quarterly Ship award.

Honorees must live up to GREAT expectations in their daily work.

Gratitude
Respect
Effort
Attitude
Teamwork

Her last day is Monday and we’re sad 😢 but we know she’s going to be tremendous in her life and career.

Please help us congratulate her by dropping GIFs and comments below.👇

With the writers' strike reaching the 100-day mark, television's content will be negatively impacted, resulting in a viewership decrease. For advertisers, radio offers a strong alternative. No matter the size of a TV budget, shifting 20% of TV spend to AM/FM radio results in a massive increase in reach.

A looming lack of entertainment content for television and film this fall from the writers strike could be good news for radio advertising.

A fresh haircut is just as much a tradition of getting ready to go back-to-school as new clothes and school supplies. This week Marion Technical Institute barbering and cosmetology students provided free haircuts to children from Marion County Public Schools, Florida. Marion County Public Schools say tomorrow marks what could be the biggest enrollment year in its 154-year history. A projected 44,487 students are expected to begin classes tomorrow.

GOOD LUCK to all our first day students!
