Community correspondents needed

There were lots more news stories in Amsterdam during this time but we may not have covered them on the station. Maybe you can help us? We’re looking for volunteer community correspondents for radio/podcasts to help us share hyper-local news and stories. Get in touch with us at info@broadcastamsterdam.nl if you are interested.
