Pitches wanted (TV) | $300+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INDIEWIRE

Erin Strecker, Executive Editor for TV at IndieWire, is looking for pitches:

IndieWire is looking for more freelancers this year. Here's what we're looking for in the TV space.

• Reality TV coverage with sharp angles about what is and isn't working
• Analysis on new comedy specials
• Trend pieces
• Anniversary look backs, interviews, and oral histories (the more specific, the better!)
• Calling out a specific aspect of a buzzy new TV show

We are not looking for straight reviews, and always want original reporting.

Standard rate for essays and reported content starts at $300, but that can be negotiable depending on the assignment.

No real deadline; all other info here: https://www.indiewire.com/how-to-pitch-stories-and-articles-to-indiewire/
