KPRC Educates Kids and Adults During Pandemic


Topic: Vaccine Education
Posted on 5/1/2020

Graham’s NBC affiliate KPRC Houston has made education their mission (space pun intended). Their KPRC 2 Kids page is packed with fun activities for kids of all ages from art assignments to story time to a Texas wildlife special in partnership with the Houston Zoo. The page also serves as a resource for parents, with ideas for family-friendly activities, informative updates regarding child care and more.

KPRC’s focus extends to educating the public about aspects of our current socio-economic climate that impact local families. "Ask 2 Town Hall: Coronavirus and Your Money" recently aired on KPRC with extended coverage online. The special featured a panel of experts answering viewer questions about stimulus checks, unemployment, stocks, small business help and other topics. The station’s health reporter and consumer expert are now also doing regular Facebook Live sessions to answer viewer questions with new information as Texas’ coronavirus information and plans to reopen businesses evolve.
