This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

Are you someone who lives in the U.S. and has family and friends overseas, or do you have family members with these connections? Do you find yourself having sometimes complicated discussions with them about whether the information you are seeing online, on TV or on the radio is accurate and fair compared with what they are seeing?

Maybe you and your loved ones disagree on whether mothers should insist on breastfeeding or maybe you have had discussions involving public health, politics, international affairs or another topic. You could be having this conversation in person, online or in family group chats.

If so, NPR would like to hear about how you navigate these conversations. Please fill out the form below, and an NPR producer or reporter might follow up with you.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
