Pitches wanted (health, medicine, scientific discovery) | $1+ per word
Added 2024-05-30 21:43:59 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: STAT
We’re looking for ideas that check the boxes of a great STAT story: smart, compelling, original reporting that takes readers inside the world of health, medicine, and scientific discovery. That can translate to all sorts of stories: pieces that bring readers inside research labs, hospitals, and biotech companies; that scrutinize new findings or industry business strategies; that chronicle patient experiences or shed light on disparities; or that dive deep into ideas or individuals that are changing the way we think about science and medicine.
We’re especially interested in features, trend stories, and in-depth analysis that would be of interest to readers of STAT+, our premium subscription service focused squarely on the news and analysis of the industries we cover, including pharma, biotech, health tech, and hospitals, as well as regulatory and legislative policy relevant to those industries.
We generally pay $1 per word. We might pay more for a story in certain circumstances, such as if a piece requires an unusually extensive amount of reporting.
