Public Insight Network

Up to one e-mail a month asking for your insight on issues we plan to cover - you respond only if you have knowledge; otherwise ignore the request
An occasional follow-up by e-mail or phone to get more information
Confidentiality - we won't quote you on the radio or the web without your permission
An open line into our newsroom for you to tell us what stories are important to you, your family and your community
No spam, marketing calls, or requests for money - your information is private and is not shared outside of a small circle of public radio journalists
A chance to help with national stories through our partnership with American Public Media, on programs such as Marketplace, Speaking of Faith, and American RadioWorks
