Q&AZ
You’ve got questions, we’ve got reporters.
Whether you were born in Arizona or came here from somewhere else, chances are you’ve wondered about the people, places and things in the Grand Canyon State.
We think great stories start with curious questions, and KJZZ wants to investigate your questions — big or small — from the Valley or across the state.
Submit a question below. Please note: We won't be able to answer every question, but we will answer as many as we can and also have voting rounds periodically for you to determine which questions we should focus on next!
For questions about programming, membership or anything else about KJZZ, please visit kjzz.org/contact.
This project is supported in part by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
