Join the Public Insight Network, CU Journalism newsroom!

Your personal stories, insights, and expertise can help journalists do more-relevant and distinctive reporting. Share what you know by becoming a member of the Public Insight Network (PIN) as part of the University of Colorado journalism channel.

More than 150,000 people already are sources for PIN nationwide. We're working toward growing the number of sources in and around Boulder and at the University of Colorado.

You could become a source for a student journalist working on a news story about something you know a lot about, or about something that you experienced in your life. (You also could be a source for journalists from dozens of professional news organizations from around the U.S.) Still have questions? Find out more about the Public Insight Network and how we use your information.
