What Makes a Good TELL?

A good tip is more than just an idea or a hunch. It’s something real. Something tangible. Whether it’s a personal story, a creative breakthrough, or something that challenges the way the world views the region, we want to know about it. A great tip will be specific, rooted in truth, and have a unique angle. Be clear about what’s at the heart of your story and why it matters.

For example:

- What do you think happens after you die? And how does that make you live?

- What kind of experience do you seek when you are so sad?

- A moment of pure delight from your childhood.

- Who is a person who deserves the spotlight even though they don't know it?

- Do you have a benign secret that you have never told anyone?

- Name the best burger in town that doesn't have a PR team behind them?

If it’s a story we can dig into, we’ll follow up with you. But please note, while we review each submission, we can’t promise a response to every single one.
