We operate the only social service newsfeed and podcast in the Greater Cincinnati area. Our news broadcast covers local changes in application protocols and service availability, as well as public health announcements and information about commercially available discount programs for low income individuals and families.
- News includes content specific to resources and services available in the Greater Cincinnati area, Hamilton County, the State of Ohio, and nationally.
- We partner with local service providers to provide up-to-date community resource information. Current contributors include the Veterans Administration, Ohio Job & Family Services, The Cincinnati Freestore, Metro Bus Services, Cincinnati Public Schools, Hamilton County Board of Health, and the Greater Cincinnati United Way, among others.
- Anyone is welcome to submit social service news. We very much appreciate “boots-on-the-ground” news. Use the “Submit News” tab (we’ll take care of formatting and editing).
- All news is vetted by our quality assurance team (which may include a follow-up with your supervisor or manager).
Text of the news feed is available in 10+ languages, the audio is available in English and Spanish.
- Each news article has sharing buttons to push content to family members, friends, coworkers or clients.
- The Cincinnati Social Service eNewsletter, compiling all the social service news of the week, is sent out on Saturday mornings.
- The Cincinnati Social Service News Feed is archived and searchable. There are over 4 thousand articles, which date back to 2007. You can view and search the archive using the “Search News” button, or by just scrolling down, using the page number tabs at the bottom.
- Each vetted news item is additionally broadcast on the “Cincinnati Social Service News” Podcast feed, available on Amazon Music, Audible, Google Podcasts, iTunes, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
