News 3 Presents

Dr. Edward Oldfield, an infectious disease specialist at Eastern Virginia Medical School, updates us on the coronavirus and what you need to know about symptoms and who is most at risk.

Just over 50 years ago two educators from two very different worlds decided their worlds needed to come together.  Dr. Sydney Boose of Norfolk State College and Harold Kenney, the assistant superintendent of New Canaan, Connecticut Schools, decided to bring black student teachers from Norfolk State to predominately white, affluent New Canaan.  The Norfolk State students would live with host families and teach in New Canaan schools. News 3’s “The New Canaan Experiment” chronicled the students’ time in New Canaan.  The documentary won a Peabody Award. Now, News 3 revisits the documentary, many of the people involved, and how The New Canaan Experiment shaped lives for both the teachers and those who were involved in New Canaan.

It’s a subject that most of us don’t really want to talk about, but we really need to talk about - death. It will happen, the only question is - will you be prepared? In January, WTKR News 3 Anchor Barbara Ciara lost her mother to cancer, but as far as preparation goes, it was a good death. Why? It’s all in the planning. Join Barbara Ciara and Karen Jones, Author of "Death for Beginners" for an insightful look at death.

News 3 has worked on a special project since April to provide you with inside information about what the FBI is doing behind closed doors in Norfolk. Reporter Margaret Kavanagh sat down the Special Agent in Charge of the Norfolk FBI Office Martin Culbreth for a podcast.
