1) The Title - "Water we going to do about Flint's water?"
This is a play on words where I'm substituting "Water" for "What are" because they sound similar when you say them out loud. Jenn is a writer and I think she appreciates puns or clever use of words, so she will like the title.
2) First Hand Info
I've worked in the water purification industry for 10 years and as part of my job, I get to travel to our locations all across the country. They are typically in poor places with terrible tap water. Some places have water that comes out of the tap like tea or smells like sewage. Flint generates the headlines, but there are other places like it that also have terrible tap water, and having seen it first-hand, I should be able to give witness to the conditions there.
3) Details about the health effects on children
I don't know for sure that Jenn loves children, but the fact that they are innocent and trusting and the effects of lead-poisoning are more pronounced on kids is heartbreaking. The story has been in the headlines, so maybe she has some curiosity about the topic already.
