Query:
Hello,
My name is Shawn. I am a writer for CNBC's Grow/Invest In You
vertical and I'm working on a story about the coronavirus
pandemic's impact on student loan borrowers. Our audience is
young adults who are actively thinking about their budgets and
financial futures whether they have a little or a lot saved. For
the story, we want to cover how financially strapped student
loan borrowers can prepare for looming payments, and we are
looking for a credited expert who speak on the issue. The story
will lean on data from this Student Debt Crisis report:
https://studentdebtcrisis.org/student-debt-covid-survey-2/. See
bullets below:
* How can borrowers who are currently on loan reprieves
prepare to repay when the time comes? * Should borrowers
continue to pay interest during the pandemic? * What is your
financial advice to borrowers facing loan payments who've lost
their main source of income or had their wages cut because of
the pandemic? * What role do you think the Biden
administration could have on student loans? * Anything to add
not covered above? What is your title/affiliation?
We are hoping to have the story live and looking to get a
response by early afternoon Wednesday 12/8/2020 by around 10:30
p.m. - 12 p.m. EST. with some flexibility. I will be accepting
responses/inquiries at shawn.carter@nbcuni.com, and will reach
out directly for additional questions, follow up. Thanks a ton
and I hope all is well. Looking forward!

helpful and also not funny. TELL ME what happened so you have a
