FRESNO, Calif. – The 2024 election is well underway across the nation, state and the San Joaquin Valley. As we turn our attention toward the November General Election, KVPR wants to hand the microphone to you – the listener – to hear what issues matter most and why participating in elections is or is not important to you.
Through a grant from the James B. McClatchy Foundation’s Central Valley Democracy Fund, the KVPR newsroom is in search of voices eager to shape the discourse around elections. Among the fund’s mission is an effort to “activate the free press during the 2024 election cycle.”
How will we do this? We have a survey available to gather your feedback. KVPR journalists will host in-person listening sessions in your community to hear directly from you. We will build two-way communication to respond to your questions and seek your opinion on important news shaping this election. We aim to capture critical voices across various groups and languages that reflect this region.
How do you participate? Fill out the survey below. We may follow up to learn more. Share this message and survey with your friends and neighbors. Invite us to visit your neighborhood. Send us a message at news@kvpr.org, and download the KVPR app which you can use to send us a voice memo.
