Public Insight Network

New Hampshire Public RadioPublic Insight Network

Share what you know - become a source for NHPR!

You see and hear things every day where you live and work. That's knowledge we need for our news coverage. And thanks to e-mail and the internet, our producers and reporters can quickly find and learn from people across the state who have experience or knowledge on the story we're covering. We call this the Public Insight Network, and it relies on people like you — our public sources.

We invite you to take a moment to share your experience and knowledge with us.

(We won't share anything you tell us on the air without your permission, and participating will never - ever - lead to a request to support NHPR.)

Municipal Tax Caps: Voters in half a dozen New Hampshire cities may see a question on their November ballots asking whether they want to put a permanent lid on tax increases. Supporters say it’s the best way to keep municipal budgets lean and mean…but opponents worry these caps will derail vital community investments.

Socrates Café: Should Race Matter?: Each month The Socrates Cafe explores a different philosophical question, both on the air and on the web. This month we look at the question "Should race matter?" Is being the majority race still an advantage, or not? Do people of one race get special treatment or attention? If so, is that needed or right? Be part of the conversation.

A Bright Spot in Gloomy Real Estate Market: For lots of reasons Hanover's housing market is not suffering like the rest of the state.

Socrates Café: What is Success?: Each month The Socrates Cafe explores a different philosophical question, both on the air and on the web. This month we look at what success means. Is it a good job? A good marriage? Lots of money or lots of happiness? A healthy life or a healthy family? Be part of the conversation.

TV Networks Adjust to New Competition: TV networks are trying to adapt to a changing media landscape.
