“Much of Stacker's content can tie directly to current issues
we are covering, bolstering our original content. For
example, our state legislature is considering a bill related to
the use of Narcan and the broader issue of opioids in our
communities… A recent Stacker article listing 10 opioid-related
documentaries will be an ideal companion to that story, and
I expect the conversation to heat up again. ”
