On April 8th, a total solar eclipse will be visible to some lucky spectators, and NPR is looking for individuals to share their experiences with the world. The news outlet is seeking submissions from people who will be viewing the celestial event, with the opportunity for their stories to be featured in a NPR article.
To participate, interested individuals must submit a voice memo including their first and last name, hometown, call back number, and a description of where they will be watching the eclipse. Participants are encouraged to provide detailed descriptions of their surroundings and their personal experiences during the event.
The voice memo should conclude with 20 to 30 seconds of ambient sound, without any talking, to capture the unique atmosphere of the eclipse viewing location. Submissions may be used in a story on NPR, giving participants the chance to share their excitement and awe with a wider audience.
However, participants should be aware that their submissions will be subject to NPR’s general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. This means that journalistic activities may override privacy rights, allowing NPR to use the submissions in accordance with their guidelines.
So, if you plan on witnessing this rare natural phenomenon, consider sharing your experience with NPR. Your story could be featured in an article that captures the magic and wonder of the total solar eclipse on April 8th.
