Cable is expensive, but so are streaming services. Nowadays, if you want Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and Apple TV+, it can cost almost as much as a cable package.
We're working on a story about cutting the cable cord. If you'd like to chat with a reporter, message us or comment below!
📼 Do you still use your VCR? Have you kept all your VHS tapes? Is that your preferred way to watch movies? If so, please message us for a story we're working on! 📹
📚 📖 Are you reading a novel with your best buds? If so, we want to chat with you! We're working on a story about book clubs, so send us a message if you're in one and willing to talk with a reporter. (Also, can I join??? I promise to bring excellent snacks and always read the assigned book on time 🥺)
⌨️ To anyone with the click-clack cadence of a typewriter embedded in their memories, those who type-typed on computer keyboards and the kids who peck quickly on touch screens, we want to hear from you. We're working on a story about how learning to type has changed over the decades.
We want to hear about your typing class! Were you in the computer lab in elementary school, or did you take a college course? Message our page if you're interested in participating in our story. Thanks so much! We can't wait to hear from you 😄
