This week, on a special edition of The Newsroom the WHQR news team takes an hour-long look at the past, present, and future of Covid-19 in the Wilmington area.
We’ll hear from local officials who helped steer the city and county through one of the region’s toughest years and look at some of the economic impacts on the region.
We’ll also look at the complicated and, at times, bitterly divisive argument over reopening New Hanover County’s public schools. And, we’ll take a deep dive into how Covid-19 brought fresh waves of misinformation and uncertainty, challenging and polarizing a country already fraught with political divides and fears of fake news.
