 Telecom and Youth Development joined forces for a successful live-stream event: The NNPS Virtual Block Party. It was held September 10 and featured local guests, performers, prize drawings, and lots of excitement about the new school year. |
 To people in the photography or television industry, "zoom" used to mean a long lens or a tighter shot, but it means something different for most folks nowadays. Since the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting social distancing, so many people have turned to the video-chat platform as a substitute for in-person meetings. |
New programming
