Pitches wanted (technology, innovation) | $300+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE DAILY BEAST

Deadline: 5 April 2024

Tony Ho Tran, Senior Editor for Innovation at The Daily Beast, is looking for pitches:

I am once again calling for pitches for The Daily Beast's Innovation section. I am looking for some weird, off-beat, and/or under-the-radar tech pitches to give our readers vital information for their everyday life.

I would love to see pitches and stories focused on solutions-oriented climate technology (e.g., geoengineering, infrastructure, future cities/communities). This would be for the week of Earth Day in April.

Our starting fee for reported stories is $300. We’re happy to offer higher rates based on length, reporting, exclusivity, original media, etc.

Check the pitch guide here for rates and my email.

Deadline: By April 5th would be ideal!
