ONE WORLD, ONE STORY
ORB COMMUNITY
Orb Media tested the inclusion of dynamically populating surveys throughout some of its stories, so that our audience could engage with the topic and see how their everyday choices fit within a larger community context. The below graphs were presented to users as they completed their own responses and represent the outcomes of these surveys. These surveys are no longer live.
We want to hear about your personal experience with financial shock. The more community input we have, and the more experiences we’re exposed to, the more diverse our reporting will be.
Contribute to our social journalism:
Message us on Facebook with #FinancialShock in the body of the message to complete a short survey. At the end of the survey, you will have the option to submit a photo that represents how you were, or were not, able to access emergency funds.
Tweet us @OrbTweet using #OrbFI and #OrbCommunity with a response (and photo) to one or both of these questions:
● Does your culture or religion matter when it comes to weathering a financial emergency?
● How does your religion or culture affect your financial philosophy?
Responses will be aggregated below to show where the conversation is going and unite us around our human story.
We will learn from you and we hope you can learn from us. Thank you for your contribution. You’re helping us tell a stronger and more compelling story.
