Pitches wanted (climate change) (worldwide) | ~44+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CLIMATE HOME NEWS 

Joe Lo, News Editor at Climnate Home News, is looking for pitches:

Freelance journalists: Climate Home News commissions stories from around the world. All stories must have a climate change angle and an international outlook. While our coverage is informed by scientific evidence, our editorial focus is on the political, economic and social dimensions of the climate crisis.

Rates start at £0.35 a word (GBP). A standard 600-word news story should involve interviewing (and usually quoting) at least three sources and linking to relevant data or research. We periodically run reporting programmes on a given theme with a budget for travel expenses and in-depth reporting. We can also support bids for reporting grants.
