  "full_text": "Uplink is a true grassroots publication.\n\nLook at any issue and you'll see articles written by journalists from news organizations big and small. For this issue alone, journalists from major market television, a nonprofit reporting center and a diverse mix of newspapers have pitched in.\n\nWe don't pay our contributors a dime for their work. They generously share their stories so others can learn from their successes and their missteps. And they share their contact information so if you want to ask a contributor some questions, you can simply shoot them an e-mail.\n\nOur contributors provide a great service to journalism by giving their time. Starting this issue, we're going to tell you more about their backgrounds and accomplishments in our new \"About our contributors\" feature (see below). If you're looking for their e-mail addresses, you can find those where they've always been: at the end of the articles.\n\nContact David Herzog by e-mail at dherzog@nicar.org.",
