Tony Ho Tran, Senior Editor for Innovation at The Daily Beast, is looking for pitches:
Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous call with some amazing pitches!
Keep them coming, but a reminder that not all tech stories need to be about AI. There's other cool stuff happening out there. Let's talk about it!
Specifically, I would love to see more stuff about VR/AR and robotics (weird/fun use cases, hot takes, etc.).
Our starting fee for reported stories is $300-$400. We’re happy to offer higher rates based on length, reporting, exclusivity, original media, etc.
