We welcome your story ideas!

If you’d like to submit a story idea to Under The Sun, email us at pitches@wlrnunderthesun.org with a brief description of the piece you have in mind.  Please remember we’re looking for stories that capture something unique or unexpected about South Florida.  We seek strong, character-driven narratives, and voices that aren’t often heard on the news.  Pitches should run no longer than 300 words.  If you’re a journalist proposing a story you’d like to work on, please include a couple of links to your work.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
