Parents of Trans Minors in NY for Youth Healthcare Access Story

Journalist: Looking to speak to parents of trans minors (under 19) in NY. Hello! I am a student journalist with New York University covering the ongoing trans youth healthcare crisis. Our university hospital system, Langone, discontinued gender affirming care for people under 19 in September due to pressure from the Trump administration — and as of last week, was ordered by the Attorney General to resume care. Covering the grave importance of this care for the trans community is personal. I myself am a trans person. I would greatly, greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak to any parents in the NY area regarding what access to gender affirming care means for their family. This is a sensitive subject. Your privacy is my upmost priority, and I can assure you full anonymity. Shoot me a chat request. I appreciate your time and understand that this is a strange request. Have a wonderful weekend.

Bentonville Locals for Walmart-Walton Impact Video Interviews

How do locals feel about the Walton's / Walmart? Hi all. I make content for YouTube and I plan to travel to Bentonville to make a long form video about your town. One of my colleague's is from Bentonville and he would come along as well. I've been looking at the towns growth, how it's coincided with Walmart's growth, the amazing things in town, the Walton's influence or direct investment in almost everything in town etc. I am curious how locals feel about Walmart and the Walton's. Obviously you may be biased if you work for the company or one of the many suppliers in the area but I'd still like to hear from you. Overall the sense I get from my outside pov is that yes, the cost of living has gone up quite significantly and pushed people out of town but also that it is an incredible place to live and raise a family. I’m not coming in with a predetermined angle...just trying to understand the full picture from people who actually live there. So let me know. How do you feel about Walmart / the Walton's and what do outsiders get wrong about Bentonville? Open to any suggestions you all may have about who to speak to or interview on camera for this video.

HUD Employee Farewell Letters for Federal Resignations Book

Seeking HUD input for upcoming book: The best federal resignation letters of 2025 This is for current and former HUD employees. I'm editing an upcoming book about the increase in federal resignations and retirements last year. If you worked alongside someone who penned a particularly insightful or poignant farewell note, please let me know? We have a submission form on the project website. (We will reach out to the letter's author before publication; nominating someone in no way means we will publish them without checking.) So far, I have collected over three dozen letters from departing DOJ, HHS, and DHS staff, but I want to be sure we feature voices representing the enormous span of the federal government, including HUD staff. The "R" in DRP stands for "resignation," so if you took the DRP option last year, you're somebody we want to hear from. I'm happy to answer any questions here. Thank you for your service!

The podcast will be recorded in-studio in New York, with the ability to fly in guests. There are possibilities for anonymous submissions, write-ins, and voice submissions as well. For in-person guests we are looking to keep it primarily around the East Coast, but please do not let that stop you from submitting your story!

Cleveland Non-Drivers Needed for Lake Erie Access Story

Do Clevelanders actually go to the lake if they don’t have a car? I'm a Cleveland writer working on a story about lakefront access and trying to understand what it’s actually like to get to Lake Erie without driving. 🌊 The city talks a lot about “reconnecting neighborhoods to the lake,” and there’s a big redevelopment push happening right now. Before writing about it, I wanted to hear how people actually experience the lake in their day to day lives. If you don’t drive, how hard is it to get there? I’m especially curious about things like: The last time you tried getting to the lake by bus, bike, or walking. How long did it take and what was that trip like? Whether the lake is even part of your Cleveland routine or if it just doesn’t really factor in. Whether things like events, food spots, or places to hang out would make you more likely to go. If it were faster or easier to get there, would you go more often? I’d especially like to hear from people in neighborhoods like Glenville, Lee-Harvard, Old Brooklyn, West Park, and neighborhoods of a similar distance from the coast. And if Lake Erie doesn’t really play a role in your lifestyle, that’s useful to know too. Feel free to reply here or DM if you’d be open to a quick conversation. I’m just trying to understand how the lake actually fits into people’s lives, not just how it shows up in redevelopment plans.

NJ Health History Experts & Locations for Documentary Series

Looking for Health-Related History in NJ Hello! I'm the co-producer of the YT series, Healthy In The Garden State, and we are looking to create an episode around health through history in NJ.

Ideally, there are ways to tie these highlights into today's medical/health industry and/or include takeaways for the viewer regarding health. Looking forward to hearing from you and connecting with anyone who'd like to share more-- thanks for any thoughts! \\A bit more background: Healthy In The Garden State is a free streaming series highlighting the people, places, and businesses helping New Jerseyans live healthier lives.

Ohio Residents Needed on SB 56 & Marijuana Regulation for WOSU

Journalist seeking sources - SB 56, referendum and the debate around marijuana regulation Hi r/Columbus! My name is Nora Igelnik, and I am a reporter for WOSU Public Media, and I am working on a story about marijuana regulation in Ohio against the backdrop of the national debate surrounding the drug — whether related to health, policy, access, industry and more. A couple of weeks ago, The New York Times Editorial Board released an opinion, "It’s Time for America to Admit That It Has a Marijuana Problem," arguing that Big Weed and a lack of education has led to addiction and health issues. When I read this opinion, I started to look into what was going on in our state in terms of regulation. Senate Bill 56, which will go into effect March 20, will amend the regulations put in place after Ohioans voted on Issue 2 in 2023. This bill bans intoxicating hemp products, caps the number of dispensaries state-wide, caps THC levels in extracts and flower, prohibits public smoking, allows landlords to prohibit smoking in rental properties, makes possessing weed bought from another state a crime and more. Ohioans for Cannabis Choice is trying to get a referendum on the ballot that the public can vote on in November to block the law, arguing that this law will impact small businesses and does not promote true regulation. I want to hear from you about your opinions on SB 56, a potential referendum and marijuana regulation in general. Please reply to this post or DM me if you are interested in being interviewed.
