Katie Krzaczek, Senior Business Editor at Slate, is looking for pitches:
I want your pitches for the business section at Slate! Send me your smart ideas on the products we use, the money we spend, the trends we love (and hate!), the weird thing you can’t stop thinking about (especially this please): katie.krzaczek@slate.com
Rates vary depending on the assignment but can go up to ~$750 for short reported features.
Re: product or trend stories, these shouldn’t be recommendation stories but explaining, analyzing, blogging about (!) something we interact with, digging into an industry, money, or consumer angle.
