  Public Insight Network: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions What is Public Insight Journalism? The Public Insight Network is a new approach that NHPR's reporters and producers are using to find diverse sources and a broader range of information. In short, we partner with the public through our Network – a group of people across the state who have agreed to help us cover the news as "public sources." Many of our public sources have told us about their work, education, passions and expertise. We ask some of these public sources in the network to share their observations and knowledge with us on specific stories. Our public insight analysts take that information and pass it on to our reporters and editors. Analysts may follow up with a request for more information, or perhaps an interview with a public source. We also ask public sources to tell us about stories that we should be covering – stories that matter to them and are not on our radar. And we ask people to participate in online interactives where they share ideas and stories and reason through tough issues. These public insights help us set our agenda for coverage and inform our reporting. We believe this partnership creates more diverse and in-depth news and cultural coverage. It also makes NHPR's programs even more trusted and credible sources of news and information. listen: No audio currently available. Order on CD (pdf).

The Dying Art of Diagramming SentencesBy Liz Bulkley on Tuesday, January 16, 2007.Tonight on the Front Porch, we're kicking it old school. Remember that feeling you'd get as you walked to the front of the classroom, picked up that heavy piece of chalk, and attempted to diagram a sentence in front of the whole class? Well, lots of today's students don't get that privilege anymore, because diagramming seems to be going the way of the Dodo. Tonight we'll talk about the dying art of diagramming sentences and what we'd do without it. Our guests are: Kitty Burns Florey, author of Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences. Georgia Brussard, Seventh Grade English Teacher at McKelvie Middle School in Bedford. We'll also hear a profile of American poet and writer Joyce Kilmer, produced by Sarah Elzas. listen:
