We Want to Hear from You about the Election!
We want you…to help with a political reporting project. Here’s what it’s about.
As the election season heats up, surveys report voters across party lines are feeling anxious and angry. Issues such as stalled economic progress, terrorism and demographic shifts have people on edge.
NPR’s Mara Liasson explains in this story.
That’s the national picture. We want to hear views from Alabama.
You can record your thoughts and send them to us with your smartphone. Here’s how:
1. If you have an iPhone, open up the Voice Memos app. If you use an Android phone, it comes with a recording app. Find a quiet place to record.
2. Start the recording and tell us the following things.
- Introduce yourself and tell us where you’re from. Also, spell your name.
- Are you anxious this election season? If so, why? If not, why not?
- What specific issues have you concerned?
- The NPR story talks about the economy, terrorism and demographic shifts as a source of anxieties. Are there other issues you think are specific to Alabama?
3. Stop the recording. Email it to WBHM’s Andrew Yeager at [email protected]. Please put “Election Anxiety” in the subject line.
By submitting your audio, you’re giving WBHM permission to use it in a broadcast story. We also may share it with reporters at NPR. Please submit your audio by 10 a.m. on Thursday.
Let’s hear what Alabama has to say!
