Hey Northern Kentucky -- PBS Wants To Hear Your Story

By Jessie Eden

PBS has reached out to Fort Thomas Matters and asked us to spread the word throughout NKY to make residents aware of its new storytelling campaign "American Portrait".

Merk & Gile Injury Attorney. 526 York Street, Newport. 

Free consultation 513-713-0862

The writing campaign uses creative prompts to inspire people to write about what it really means to be an American today.

Some of the prompts include;

• "I wake up every day and fight..." (reflections on addiction and recovery) 
• "I was raised to believe..."
• "The tradition I carry on is..."
• "What keeps me up at night is..."
• "When I step outside my door..."
• "Most days I feel..."
• "A day's work is..."
• "My greatest challenge is..."

To submit, the story must be your own work. It cannot included any offensive material or advertisements and it cannot impersonate other people. To view the full guidelines, click here.
