I have been presented with a unique opportunity to talk to a journalist about potential feature stories she wants to write about OKC for a global news outlet. I appreciate the thoughtful insights on this forum and thought I would give you the opportunity to throw out some ideas for possible stories she could pitch to her editors.
The counter-narrative story that attracted her to the City is the idea that OKC was the largest city in the nation that voted Trump, yet has voted several times to increase taxes on itself in order to improve quality of life in the city. And that the success of MAPS and subsequently that of the city, has been a driving force for Mayor Cornett to run for governor with some Democrats expressing support for his candidacy early on (by the way if there are any of you out there, PM me as she might be interested in interviewing you for the story).
But she is open to other compelling ideas that tell under-reported stories or unique ones from this unique heartland city on the rise.
So, with that being said, do you have a story that you think would make an interesting one for a global audience?
