Think we're done with hurricane season? Sadly, its after effects aren't done with Central Florida. Take a listen to this compelling and informative special from @wmfeorlando news. #Hurricane #pubmedia #journalism @nprstations

[Central Florida Public Media @cfpublicmedia]

Hurricane season has come and gone. What now? How have the people and communities of Central Florida been affected? What happens, “After The Storms”?

90.7 WMFE News takes a look in the special 1-hour special presentation on Friday, December 9 at 1 p.m. on 90.7 & 89.5 FM.

[Judith Smelser @JudithSmelser]

Proud that @wmfeorlando journalists continue to follow the ongoing stories of #HurricaneIan & #hurricanenicole even after the end of the storm season. Join us for this compelling hour of audio storytelling on FM or streaming. #nonprofit #pubmedia #journalism #publicsafety

[Judith Smelser @JudithSmelser]

In the @wmfeorlando studio with @publicradiogirl & @BlakeTalia early on the first live day of our year-end fund drive! Please support independent #journalism and our hardworking team this morning at https://t.co/QGNGmFHCaw. Thank you! #publicmedia #nonprofit #journalism #orlando

[Judith Smelser @JudithSmelser]

We're so honored that @wmfeorlando was one of only two Florida newsrooms selected to host a @Report4America corps member next year to cover this important issue for Central Florida. #publicmedia #nonprofit #journalism #journalismmatters

[Brendan Byrne @SpaceBrendan]

I'm so excited to finally announce @wmfeorlando is partnering with Report for America. We're looking for a reporter to cover housing and homelessness.

Please share with anyone you think will be a good fit. And thanks to @Report4America for this amazing opportunity.

Working on a Sunday isn’t bad when your flying on a @GoZeroG flight and some of your space friends happen to be here. @AstroJoanE @MikeMongo @DrSianProctor

I’m following two brothers who won an essay contest to be here. We’ll talk the inspiration of microgravity on @awtyspace

[Judith Smelser @JudithSmelser]

Local journalists tell important human stories that might otherwise be overlooked. I'm proud @wmfeorlando's journalists are telling those stories. #publicmedia #journalism #LocalNews

[Amy Green @amybgreen]

Hurricane Ian may be over for most Floridians, but not for those who sustained wind and flood damage. More than two weeks later, one central Florida neighborhood still remains almost inaccessible because of high water. My latest with @NPR. https://t.co/EVdvelk3zO
