Take the Lede: The GUIDON Crowdsourcing Form

In journalism, the lede refers to the introductory section of a story that is intended to capture the reader's attention. In The GUIDON's 90th year, the publication strives to venture beyond the limits of its knowledge by establishing a platform wherein stakeholders can pitch story and event ideas that they would like The GUIDON to investigate or execute. This crowdsourcing platform is also in the interest of forming a direct relationship with our readers so that we may produce more content that successfully captures the interest and needs of the public.

Each pitch will be taken into consideration and scrutinized for feasibility. Though we cannot guarantee that all suggestions will be accepted, The GUIDON can ensure that it will thoroughly investigate each pitch. You will be notified if your event or story has been chosen. Rest assured that personal details will remain confidential.

If you have any questions, concerns, or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact the Research Managers, Koji P. Baui and Francine C. Tan at kbaui@theguidon.com and ftan@theguidon.com, respectively.

Thank you for helping The GUIDON improve its services. We look forward to hearing your ideas.
