Everyone needs to get a flu shot this year. We all know this.

out when you should get your flu shot.

When do you usually recommend that people get a flu shot? 3. Is
that timeline different this year, given the pandemic? 4. How
do we choose when to get a flu shot? What do we need to take
into consideration? 5. What else? 6. What is your name,
pronouns, location, title, and any academic affiliation?

Deadline: 5:00 PM PST - 1 October

Query:

For Construction Dive, which covers the nonresidential
commercial construction industry, this article looks at why
contractors should care about inclusion initiatives and rooting
out racism on jobsites. The industry has seen a number of
incidents involving nooses or hate speech on jobsites this year.
Why should construction executives and managers care about
rooting out racism on their jobsites? How does racism and a less
inclusionary environment impact safety in construction? How does
racism and a less inclusionary environment impact productivity,
and ultimately, profits? How are owners and developers looking
at this issue? How is it impacting the choice of contractors
they do business with? Why are we seeing acts of racism on
jobsites now? What steps can architecture, engineering and
construction firms take to combat racism in the industry? I'd
like to speak with construction executives and consultants,
safety experts and academics about why we're seeing these
incidents now, and how they impact a company's bottom line.

immunity--also being targeted to active-lifestyle consumers and
incorporated into products? In a post-COVID, health-focused

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW

section called "A parent's guide to homeschooling during the
pandemic" in late fall/early winter that will publish in
newspapers and websites across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for past syndicated content
samples from CTW Features). For one of the stories running in
this section, I'm looking to interview educators, teachers,
school administrators, child/family psychologists, families with
kids learning from home, and other professionals for the
following story:

Alter your expectations, mom and dad: Homeschooling requires a
different way to learn, teach, and communicate. Many parents may
be expecting their child's school and teachers to instruct,
grade, and communicate in ways that were anticipated before
coronavirus. But remote learning will present many challenges,
including how to ensure students are learning properly and being
challenged appropriately and that students' and parents'
questions are being asked and answered. This article will
explore these challenges and provide insights and tips from
educators and families about how we all need to set different
goals and expect different outcomes this school year while
learning from home. I can only accept full-sentence written
responses (via email) that I can use as quotes. My deadline is
noon central, Friday, October 2.

QUESTIONS: 1. What are some of the challenges involved with
learning from home (homeschooling) for families with children?
Please list some with details. 2. What approaches are schools
and teachers taking to learning from home? Please list a few
examples. 3. How have schools and educators been forced to
change their curricula, teaching/grading systems, learning
objectives, etc.? 4. How are schools and teachers ensuring that
students are learning properly and being challenged
appropriately? How are they making sure that students' and
parents' questions are being asked and answered appropriately?
5. What do parents need to put in proper perspective here and
consider, especially under these extreme circumstances of
learning at home? 6. How and to what extent should parents alter
their expectations, given this remote learning context? 7. What
can/should parents do if they don't understand, have questions,
or disagree with the approach their school/teachers are taking
in teaching their children? 8. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 9. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

QUESTIONS: 1. What are some of the Internet/Wi-Fi/broadband
challenges families face when children are learning remotely
from home? 2. Why is it so important for families to provide a
strong Internet/Wi-Fi connection in their homes? How and to what
extent can a weak signal make it difficult for children to learn
remotely? 3. What specific detailed tips and recommendations do
you suggest to families to make sure they have the necessary
Internet strength and capabilities in their home? What hardware,
software, and broadband capabilities do they need (e.g., dual
band wireless router, mesh networking system if possible,
Internet plan with minimum speed of?, Etc.)? 4. How can families
boost/improve signal coverage throughout their home, even if
they have what they think is the necessary hardware (e.g.,
purchase a Wi-Fi extender, upgrade to a mesh networking system,
etc.)? 5. How can families possibly qualify for low-cost

especially for families with limited financial resources? 6. Any
other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 7. What is

home, including, for example, taking a daily walk together,
feeding animals from your backyard, taking a drive to visit
nearby friends or relatives (and saying hello safely from the
car, if necessary), and more (the experts I interview will
surely recommend even better tips than these). I can only accept
full-sentence written responses (via email) that I can use as
quotes. My deadline is noon central, Friday, October 2.

QUESTIONS: 1. What are some of the problems/repercussions of
children and families being cooped up inside for too long due to
coronavirus? 2. Why is it important to get outside with your
children on a regular/daily basis? 3. Please recommend at least
three activities that you can safely participate in with your
children outdoors, despite colder weather or weather/climate
challenges. This is the heart of my story, so please provide
detailed recommendations here that are
fun/educational/healthy/out of the ordinary, and indicate the
benefit(s) of each of your recommendations as well as the steps
required to complete that activity. Also, please try to provide
different recommendations for different child age groups. 4.
What are some of the benefits/advantages of doing activities
like these outside of your home with your children? What is it
teaching them, and what will they take away from these
experiences? 5. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this
topic? 6. What is your full name, title, company, city/state
location, and email address?

126) Summary: Your car knows best: these new auto safety features will surprise you

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-bbce@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 September

Query:

I'm working on a story about new and innovative auto safety
features. For example, some vehicles have sensors that tell the
car if you're drowsy. The vehicle recommends that you pull over
and get some rest. Other cars will take control of your brakes
or steering if there's an imminent collision. I'd love to hear
from anyone who is driving a car like this. Has a safety feature
ever prevented an accident? From auto safety experts, I'm
interested in knowing which auto safety features are the most
popular. Also, which ones do drivers complain about the most?
Are there any new safety features we should expect soon?
Finally, is there any evidence that the features work?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to include your full name and a jargon-free, brief
(two to three word) description of your company or affiliation
as you would like it to appear in the article. I will do my
absolute best to acknowledge that I received your pitch and will
make every effort to let you know when the story appears. More
information on my queries can be found on my site:

attention to the rules. I am looking to get a little
psychological Insight into Bad Guest Behavior After Lockdown. I
would like to know what about the lockdown may have caused
people to act like they were teenagers just released from

young people.
