On September 5 at 7:15 a.m., North Central Florida Media (NCFM), launched 352today.com, a new, local news website focused on serving as the community connection for everyone living and working in the 352 area code. That includes towns in Alachua, Marion, Sumter, Lake, Citrus, Dixie, Levy, Gilchrist and Hernando Counties.
NCFM is best known for providing the public with the soundtrack for their lives with its popular radio stations Wind-FM and K-Country. In addition to great music free over-the-air and streamed online, NCFM has a long history of supporting community events and is well-respected in the business community for the successful marketing services it provides local businesses.
“We recognize the importance of staying connected. Establishing a news division is a natural extension of the community connection we have long provided as broadcasters. I’m excited to further connect with people through this digital platform,” said Howard Tuuri, NCFM Vice President and General Manager.
“The 352today mission is to provide timely, relevant, trusted, and unbiased local news and information, for free,” Tuuri continued. “352today.com aims to be the primary source of news, events, and stories that matter most to north-central Florida residents, fostering a strong sense of unity and engagement.”
Breaking Down Barriers with Free Access
In an era where news outlets are shrinking and paywalls often restrict access to valuable information, 352today.com is proud to offer its content for FREE to all users.
“Every member of the community deserves access to high-quality local news and information without financial barriers,” said Denise Vickers, News Editor for 352today.com. “By keeping content open and accessible, we’re ensuring that every individual in north-central Florida can be well-informed,” added Vickers, a veteran journalist with more than 30 years of experience.
