Natasha Roy, Editor at Rewire News Group, is looking for pitches:
I am once again calling for pitches for Rewire News Group's Campus Dispatch series, where a college student/recent grad writes an op-ed or reported story for us about how repro rights, LGBTQ+ issues, voting rights, and more affect themselves, their campuses, and/or their peers.
I’m accepting pitches for op-eds ($350) or reported stories ($500). PLEASE make sure you check out our current stories to get a feel for what we’re looking for before pitching. Send pitches to roy.natasha@rewirenewsgroup.com
Answers to a couple FAQs:
You do not have to currently be in college, but we are prioritizing Gen Z writers
We are mostly focused on U.S. policy issues
I'm accepting on a rolling basis, but we only publish one Campus Dispatch piece a month and have the next handful set already, so sooner is definitely better than later!
