Jen and I dove into our chiropractor story this week at KBIA. After talking with Janet, we narrowed down the focus of our story to a trend piece about how chiropractors are attempting to attract families, with a side angle of how chiropractors who treat infants and children is controversial.
Janet suggested that we get a quote from a national expert, then find a chiropractor around mid Missouri who we could follow around for a few hours. It was very good advice, but we’re still worried about finding someone who will give us that kind of access.
Tuesday was okay, but was a bit of a disappointment. We put out a ton of calls to try and find experts. We also put out calls to chiropractors but we didn’t get into immediate contact with them either. We did get find a lot of articles and blogs on the controversy subject, so those are all helpful resources.
However, our day picked up, because we lined up two interviews for later in the week with experts from all over the country and from various organizations. I even talked to a nationally known chiropractor on Thursday who gives presentations all over the country because she’s known as a specialist who treats children and babies. It was pretty cool. She was an amazing source.
Our week went well, but we are very focused on getting a chiropractor that will give us access to their practice and patients for a few hours. That is getting to be a real challenge that Jen and I are getting increasingly concerned about because we don’t have a whole lot of time left to finish up this story. We put out a bunch of calls Thursday morning and will continue to call people over break because our goal is to go to a chiropractor’s office early in the week we get back from break.
So, I think this story is coming along nicely. We already have part one done—talking to experts. Now, it is all about finding the perfect chiropractor that will give us the access we need, and we’ll work on that during break.
