Zoe Grunewald, Westminster Editor at The Lead, is looking for pitches:
PSA for journalists! I am looking to commission some punchy features for The Lead. We want investigations and features covering social injustice, inequality, policy horror stories, and issues facing real people all across the country today.
I'm especially interested in the stories of marginalised communities, intergenerational unfairness, regional inequalities, healthcare biases, and the plight of children. But I'm open to any story you think is worth telling.
