Pitch us your in-depth investigations! Here's what we are looking for:
The erosion of rights. Women and LGBTQ+ people are experiencing historic restrictions on their access to essential care. Immigrant communities face the threat of increased raids and deportations. And protest movements are subject to harsh crackdowns at the federal, state, and local level. We’re interested in stories that highlight the ways in which civil and human rights are being eroded, and the impact this is having on communities and society more broadly.
Political influence and corporate malfeasance. As we enter an era of political upheaval, we are interested in investigations that shed light on wrongdoing and hold power to account. How are individuals, institutions, and companies working to influence policy at the federal and local levels? Which political allies are getting special treatment? How are companies mistreating workers or failing to uphold their obligations to consumers?
Climate change and environmental justice. The Trump administration is set to roll back key environmental protections and usher in a new era of oil and gas exploration. We’re interested in the individuals and groups who are pushing for and profiting from these changes. And as the climate crisis becomes increasingly severe, we want to track the impact on vulnerable regions and communities.
While we welcome pitches from reporters outside of the United States, your pitch must have a strong and direct U.S. tie-in.
