KSMQ developed online platforms and content that provide greater visibility to primarily on- line audiences. Each of these formats are to bring value and perspective with the hopes of getting more people engaged in our social media platforms. For those who want to hear another perspective on their favorite novels, to shorter stories that feature some art, history, and cultural heritage that is entertaining as well, these multi-media platforms offer something different from broadcast to on-line experiences.
