JWR’s Introductory Note: I got the following from a legitimate reporter that has promised a fair and balanced article. Of course the usual OPSEC considerations apply…
Hello.
I am a reporter with The Associated Press and I am working on a story about the growing number of people taking steps to stock up on emergency food, water and other supplies because of concerns about the recession and the stability of the networks that keep our grocery stores stocked up and our power running. I interviewed Jim Rawles last week and he suggested that I post here to find people who would be good to talk to for my piece.
I am specifically looking for people who haven’t really thought much about emergency preparedness/survivalism before, but have started to stock up on supplies recently (say, in the last six months) because of the bad news on the economy and the financial system. I am based in Southern California, so I am really looking to talk to folks who live in Southern California – although I could do interviews by phone with people from out-of-state.
Please contact me at reporting4good@gmail.com if you would be willing to be interviewed for this story.
Once you contact me, I will respond with my business e-mail and name and other contact information. I would just rather not put up that information in a general post that anyone can see.
I look forward to hearing from people soon!Gillian Flaccus
