COMPANY/PUBLICATION: REWIRE NEWS GROUP

Natasha Roy, Staff Editor at Rewire News Group, is looking for pitches:

I started a new Rewire News Group series earlier this year called Campus Dispatch, where once a month a young writer covers reproductive, LGBTQ+, voting, and more issues from the Gen Z perspective. We finally have a landing page on the site: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/campusdispatch/

I’m super proud of the three stories we’ve put out so far. The first piece by Madeleine Aitken covered a Massachusetts law requiring public universities and colleges to provide medication abortion services: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/01/29/bringing-medication-abortion-access-to-college-campuses/

In February, Kirti Moteka wrote about Texas SB 17, an anti-DEI law that she argues restricts Lone Star State students’ freedoms: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/02/26/texas-anti-dei-law-leaves-students-standing-alone/

And yesterday, we published an op-ed by Reproaction organizer Laila Salaam that makes the case for all university health centers to provide medication abortion services: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/03/25/medication-abortion-belongs-on-college-campuses-schools-need-to-step-up/

I’m so proud of this series, and I’m super excited for the stories we have coming up. I am looking to fill out the a few more story slots, so if you have a pitch you think would be great for Campus Dispatch, send it over to roy.natasha@rewirenewsgroup.com

Rates start at $350 for op-eds and $500 for reported pieces.
