Help us go local with this year’s State of the Union address. Just click on the map below or scroll down to find your state’s entry and click “Add Your Comments” to tell us — and the rest of Poynter Online’s users — about the major issues facing your audience as they wait for the president’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday.

What questions would your readers like answered?

What would your listeners ask the president if they could?

What laws would your viewers like to see proposed?

What’s on their minds?

We hope this project will help folks who don’t live in your area or your state to better understand the issues facing your communities — and that the nuances, the consistencies and the striking differences will help facilitate better storytelling across the board.

And don’t forget to share your best headlines with us when you’re done! (Come back to poynter.org/sotu Tuesday night to add yours — and see what others have come up with.)

Support high-integrity, independent journalism that serves democracy. Make a gift to Poynter today. The Poynter Institute is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, and your gift helps us make good journalism better.
