Then why not write it down and say it on the radio?
GPB Radio's daily news program Georgia Gazette is looking for
commentators. You don't have to be a professional writer — anyone
with an opinion can write a commentary.
Some commentaries are issue-oriented — having our first black
President, trying to outlaw baggy pants, the influx of "big box" stores,
the demise of independent book stores, the Atlanta/rural Georgia water
war, how digital media influences our children, whether ethanol is a
good thing for our country.
Some commentaries are humorous — how you know you're spoiling your
dog when you spoon-feed it yogurt, a play-by-play of a southern
Thanksgiving, pretty much any childhood story that others can identify
with
Some commentaries are reflective on universal issues— losing a friend
to cancer, dealing with a parent's Alzheimers, dealing with death,
dealing with obesity, what it means to be a southerner, what it means to
be a father
Here are our criteria:
Target 3 minutes, recorded by author
We do not compensate for commentaries
We air commentaries at our discretion
Text of submission(s) e-mailed to gazette@gpb.org
All submissions welcome. If we like it we will contact you.
