Nut Graph:
Republicans are once again trying to cut budget on PBS and NPR. Let's save the value of Elmo, Mr. Rogers, Charlie Rose, Master Piece, Frontline, and Nova Science Now.
My partner Kay will research on how PBS and NPR are funded and how we can save them.
I'll write an opinion about why saving these companies are important to us and what will happen if the funding gets reduced.
Questions:
1. What will happen if the funding gets reduced.
2. Why PBS and NPR? Are there any other companies that will have this effect?
3. How does PBS use its funding?
4. As a viewer, what will be a drawback from this issue?
5. If republicans succeeded, will there be less programs?
6. What are opinions of this issue's supporters?
Sources:
PBS website, NPR website, Kay might be able to interview someone who works for PBS
What: Possible decreased funding on PBS and NPR
Who: Republicans, PBS, NPR
