Dialing Up the News: Phone Numbers Are Your Friend
For those who prefer the classic approach, grab your phone (or that dusty landline in the basement, we won't judge) and dial away! Here are the numbers to get you connected:
- For the general public: 1-877-480-3201 (Remember, that's 1-877-480-STALK-THE-NEWS...almost)
- For those who speak in the clicks and whirs of a TTY device: 1-717-338-2824
Pro Tip: Calling during a commercial break might give you a better chance of getting through before they get bombarded with "Hey, I saw a weird cloud!" reports.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
E-support: When Emails Are Your Jam
Maybe you're rocking a flip phone from the early 2000s (because #retro is cool, again), or you just prefer the convenience of email. No worries, WXYZ has you covered! Head over to their website (which probably isn't covered in glitter, unlike your flip phone) and look for their e-support option. They'll be able to answer your questions or receive your news tips through the digital ether.
Word to the Wise: Keep your emails concise and to the point. No one wants to wade through a novel about your dreams involving Bigfoot and Vernors.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Social Media Buzz: Tweeting the News into Existence
Feeling social? WXYZ is on all the major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Fire off a message with your news tip or question, and who knows, you might even spark a viral sensation (or at least a retweet).
Hashtag Hero: When composing your social media message, consider using relevant hashtags like #WXYZDetroit or #Detroithappens. This increases the chances of your message being seen by the right eyes.
