Pitches wanted (Oklahoma) | $250+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: OKLAHOMA VOICE

Janelle Stecklein, Editor at Oklahome Voice, is looking for pitches:

The new Oklahoma State Newsroom outlet is looking for people interested in freelancing. We're looking for both writers and photographers statewide. Feel free to email me at jstecklein@statesnewsroom.com if you want more info.

Any freelance story pitches have to have an Oklahoma focus and be tied in some way (even loosely) to state government.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay $250 per 1000-word story (plus $100 for a usable photo). It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Questions/submissions: jstecklein@statesnewsroom.com or jstecklein@oklahomavoice.com
• Website: https://oklahomavoice.com/
