Every day at KCBX News, we work to report the stories you want to hear, and now we’d like to recruit you! We want to bring you - our audience - closer to the news and into the journalistic storytelling we strive to do here at KCBX by answering your questions about the region. Central Coast Curious is a regular KCBX News series that lets you be a part of the news reporting process.
Here’s how it works: You send us your questions about the Central Coast region by emailing them to news@kcbx.org. Later, you’ll have opportunities to vote on the ones you most want us to answer. Then, we’ll work with our question askers to report the answers together and broadcast our reports on the air and on NPR One.
You can ask us anything, silly or serious. You might wonder: Why do we have so few mental health facilities in our area? What's the status of the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary? Where are secret beaches? How much is the city of San Luis Obispo spending on recycling? What defines Central Coast cuisine?
So, ask away. Be Central Coast curious! Email your questions to news@kcbx.org
