COMPANY/PUBLICATION: VOX

Paige Vega, Climate Editor at Vox, is looking for pitches:

CALL FOR PITCHES: For Vox, I'm looking to assign stories on climate change that help readers better understand and navigate our world. Reportage $1+/word.

Right now, I'm especially interested in stories at the intersection of biodiversity and traditional ecological knowledge; labor, daily life, and housing; coexistence and new frameworks for conservation; the green energy transition; politics; and solutions, adaptation and resilience.

Story assignments range from 800 to 2,500 words and encompass many formats. If you think you’ve got an idea that will resonate with our readers, send your pitch to me at climate@vox.com
