PBS Looking for People to Profile

Hi,

I am a producer for the PBS NewsHour (formerly The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer), the nightly news program on public broadcasting. We're coming to Florida to do a series of stories later this month. One story we are planning is on unemployment. I'm looking for people to profile for the story. We'd like to interview people about your experience being unemployed and about problems or issues you have encountered getting unemployment benefits. We are planning to do this in or near Orlando,Tampa, Cape Coral or Fort Myers. If you are interested in being interviewed on camera for the story, please let me know. You can reach me by email at dlincoln@newshour.org or by phone at (703) 998-2184 or I'm happy to contact you at your convenience if you give me the best way to reach you.

Thank you!

Diane

Anyone who would like to be a part of this for Diane, please contact her at the info provided above, thanks!!

In retrospect, I should have agreed to be interviewed...and simply said, "Tier 5 to stay alive" in response to anything I'd been asked.
