Pitches wanted (Green Day's 'Dookie') | 25 cents per word
Added 2024-01-11 20:02:17 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE CURRENT
Deadline: 15 January 2024
Reed Fischer, Senior Digital Producer at The Current, is looking for pitches:
Do you have the time to write an essay about Green Day's album Dookie turning 30? Pitch me!
Send any questions or ideas to rfischer@mpr.org. $.25/word is our usual rate.
Deadline: Monday. The album is 30 years old, so people have had some time to process the material. And the actual anniversary is February 1.
Also, 1994 had a lot of big ones (tho no pitches for Aerosmith’s ‘Big Ones’ please). Pitch those as inspiration strikes!
