My first magazine article :)
Writing this article my senior year of college allowed me to demonstrate my interviewing, writing, editing, and fact-finding skills, as well as my ability to write within parameters and according to a set voice/style.
With Both Marking Milestones, LBC and WJTL Celebrate a Shared Vision of Serving the Community
In 2024, two prominent Christian organizations in Lancaster, PA. are celebrating milestone anniversaries. As Lancaster Bible College marks 90 years, friend and ministry partner WJTL, Lancaster’s local Christian radio station, is celebrating 40 years of providing Christ-centered music to the community.
The partnership is a natural one, as WJTL originally began on LBC’s campus while run by an independent, nonprofit ministry. Four decades later, WJTL has grown into an organization that reaches tens of thousands of listeners each week. A dedication and passion for bringing Christ to the Lancaster community sets WJTL apart from other media outlets in tangible ways.
“We’re one of the last stations that still have real, live people on the radio,” said Fred McNaughton, CEO and President of WJTL. “Most radio is piping in from somewhere else. We’re all real people who live here locally, and we’re very involved in the community. We’re going out to 100-plus events every year.”
With several LBC alumni part of the WJTL family, the station supports local nonprofits by participating in events like parades, banquets, auctions and other live events.
