The PBS station covering the Lehigh Valley hired not 1, not 2, but 12 new Journalists in what the station is calling the “Reporter Corps”.

They announced the program on their website and what the “Reporter Corps” will entail. 

PBS39 announced one of the most significant journalistic hirings in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in decades, as they bring on a dozen new journalists for “Reporter Corps”. These journalists will be embedded in the ten counties that make up the Greater Lehigh Valley, including Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks, Montgomery, Berks, Schuylkill, Carbon, and Monroe in Pennsylvania, plus Warren and Hunterdon counties in New Jersey. They will create community-focused content, initially for the PBS39 digital platform, and eventually for a nightly, televised newscast launching in September. They will join the existing four PBS39 journalists for a total reporting staff of fourteen.

It's kind of sad when you hire a dozen new Reporters and brings the reporting staff up to 14. 

Just saying...
