Be Our Eyes and Ears

I just wanted to remind you: on big news event days, we really rely on you to be our eyes and ears. We’ve been doing this for more than a decade and we rely on the emails we get in to our staff email account, which you can see linked over at the upper right of the site. If you see something in person, if you see a story moving on the local news, wherever and whenever, let us know. We’ll be waiting for your tips and have our whole team primed to jump right on them.

Like they say at the railroad stations and airports, if you see something, say something (to us).
