Thomas Germain is looking for pitches for BBC:
FREELANCERS: I'm commissioning history articles about the internet for the BBC. I am looking for pitches about chapters and corners of the web that people will remember, but haven't thought about in the while. Nostalgia, surprising stories, foundational communities, get in touch!
Rate is about $0.57 a word. Contact info on my website, http://tomgermain.com. Please put FREELANCE PITCH at the beginning of the subject line
Also, I'm always looking for pitches about tech in general. Features only please, let me know if you want to hear details about what I'm looking for.
