NPR Calls for Submissions on Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Locations
As the total solar eclipse approaches on Monday, April 8, NPR is reaching out to people across North America to share their plans for viewing this rare celestial event. The network is asking for voice memos that include the person’s first and last name, hometown, call back number, and a detailed description of their viewing location.
Participants are encouraged to record ambient sound for 20 to 30 seconds at the end of the memo, adding an immersive element to their submission. These submissions may be featured in a story on NPR highlighting people’s unique experiences watching the eclipse.
It’s important to note that all submissions will be governed by NPR’s general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. However, NPR acknowledges that there may be exemptions under law for journalistic activities or freedom of expression that could override privacy rights in certain circumstances.
So, whether you’re planning to watch the total solar eclipse from your backyard, a local park, or a rooftop in the city, NPR wants to hear from you. Share your viewing plans and contribute to the collective experience of this spectacular celestial event. Submit your voice memo to NPR and be a part of the eclipse story.
