WKCR News reporters go beyond the headlines to bring you the voices and nuances of an important story each weekday just before Jazz Alternatives.

WKCR News provides a unique take on local, national, and global issues by challenging student reporters to develop alternative and uncompromising approaches to interview, discussion, and reporting in all aspects of the news field. This tradition has its roots in WKCR's award-winning coverage of the Columbia student strike of 1968. The department prides itself on developing creative and in-depth coverage of news stories often overlooked by the major networks.
