Hi All,
Those of you who listen to NPR (National Public Radio) may be familiar with
the on-air commentaries people read that are about a vast variety of
subjects. A couple of days ago a man was reading his commentary about
something that Katrina had brought to mind for him. As I fixed dinner, I
listened to his commentary very closely and absorbed what he said (at least
at the time! ;-). Thousands, if not millions, depending on whether this
was a Southern California-only broadcast or one of the syndicated shows
broadcast nationally probably also heard him. A light went off in my head
when I realized that here was a great "soapbox" with which to express the
importance of breastfeeding, possibly tying in the situation of mothers
and babies in Katrina's wake.
I wish I had it in me to come up with a commentary that would really get to
the heart of the matter regarding breastfeeding, and possibly I do and I
will continue to explore my thoughts and see if I can get them into a
succinct, readable piece that will grab people's attention. But I
immediately thought of all you fellow bf advocates, many who are vastly
more well-versed in explaining breastfeeding's importance than me. Might
one of you be able to come up with a piece to send to NPR? The piece need
only be about 300 words and take about two and a half minutes to read
aloud. Here is the link to NPR that explains the
requirements .http://www.npr.org/about/pitch/commentary.html
Just a thought,
