What is the Public Insight Network?
The Public Insight Network is KUOW's database of news sources. We are using email, the Internet and a database to capture local knowledge. Having a bank of hundreds of news sources allows our producers and reporters to work smarter. We can cover new communities and issues. We can get out in front of news stories more often, instead of chasing them.
If you're in the Public Insight Network, you can help us cover news and issues and expand our agenda by raising new subjects.
How do I sign up?
- You sign up automatically if you answer one of our question forms on the web.
- There's also our online sign–up form, which allows you to tell us more about your background.
How does it work?
You'll receive an email about once a month with some links to question forms. We access your experience and expertise directly by searching for it in our database. You'll hear from KUOW's Carolyn Adolph if your name comes up in a search.
The Network works best when our news sources take us off our agenda and into new territory. You can use your presence in the Public Insight Network to tell us what we should be following.
Where is my information?
Everything our news sources send us lands in the Network's database, keeping information up–to–date and searchable.
Who looks at my information?
Responses go to KUOW journalist Carolyn Adolph, who reads everything and may respond with a request for more information. Reach her at publicinsight@kuow.org or call 206.221.0746.
Carolyn passes information on to reporters and producers on a quick turnaround. She emails you to say she's passing on the information and provides details on the story being prepared.
How do I unsubscribe?
Go to our unsubscribe page. There's a link to it at the bottom of every monthly email. One click and you're out.
We never use your information for anything other than journalism.
We never use your information for marketing or fundraising.
