are afraid to go out for a haircut/styling or are still
sheltering in place.

cutting/styling your own hair. I will also interview women and
men to are doing it at home, by themselves, or teaching someone
in their household to do their hair.

Category: GeneralEmail: query-awn9@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Red Diamonds Newsletter
Deadline: 12:00 PM CST - 14 June
Query:
The TOPIC: Impression Management - from both an individual and
organizational perspective.
How conscious a behavior is it? How effective can it be? The
risks?
Is virtue signaling considered a form of impression management
or not?
What would be a more effective approach for satisfying the need
that we believe impression management provides?
PUBLICATION: the Red Diamonds Newsletter (published on the
Medium platform), a weekly publication on communication,
decision making, behavior, conflict, professional relationships,
courage and resilience and reputation and crisis.
NUMBERS: I share the publication on LinkedIn (5000+ contacts,
6000+ followers), Twitter (500+) and sometimes, share the best
quotes in a Instagram story, giving proper attribution.
EXTRA: If I quote you, I am always willing to link your name to
your professional profile and mention and link to your
organization or business.
SOURCES: I've published 38 issues and interviewed 47 people to
this point (21 men, 26 women), from different parts of the
world, which I only mention to say that I am receptive to
speaking to a wide variety of people and from anywhere, if their
expertise is determined to be the best for the article.
Requirements:
1) If interested, please write a precise, concise paragraph,
doesn't have to be too long, introducing yourself and what you
do, as if we were getting along well at a social gathering.
2) In another precise, concise paragraph or two (shorter
paragraphs), please provide some initial impressions of the
topic from my questions.
3) If I choose you, I will likely take some of what you write
about the topic and then ask if I can ask you 1 or 3 more
questions by email.
4) The newsletter publishes every Thursday so my initial
thinking is to interview someone and have their replies back in
my email by Tuesday around lunchtime, Central Time.
5) I want to highlight you and your work in a great light and
always quote you accurately and in context as well. What I steer
away from are those whose pitch is way off topic or the angle is
not what I've written I'm seeking. I don't want you to spend
time pitching like that because we won't be able to work
together. Thank you. :)

Query:
Since social distancing has limited gatherings, many of us have
found creative solutions to getting together (like Zoom
birthdays and weddings). While backyards have traditionally been
a space for gatherings for both the household and guests, and
offered more privacy, it seems like now people are moving to the
front of the house, to porches and driveways and front steps,
moving away from the backyard seclusion and into a more communal
front yard, where they can interact with neighbors and those who
are passing by.
For an upcoming story, I'd like to speak with people who have
started to use their front yards more for this reason, whether
it's by sitting on a front porch that you previously rarely used
or setting up camping chairs in the driveway or front lawn. Or
perhaps your neighborhood or group of neighbors have started a
communal initiative on this front? I'd love to hear about some
of the creative ways people are socializing in the front yard
while still distancing during this time.
