Pitches wanted (Asia) | up to 40 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE NEW HUMANITARIAN

Ali M. Latifi, Asia Editor at The New Humanitarian, is looking for pitches:

The New Humanitarian is looking for freelance writers to pitch unique, unreported (or rarely reported) humanitarian-related stories out of Asia. If it has been reported in the past, should include some new angle/information that hasn't been explored before. Rates: Up to $0.40 a word per reported feature. New writers are welcome, but remember, the pitches have to be about the Asian continent (pretty much anywhere in the Asian landmass) and have to have a very strong, clear humanitarian angle. Email ali@thenewhumanitarian.org with three (ish) published clips. Use "PITCH: Asia - [your headline]" as the subject line.

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

• Questions/submissions: ali@thenewhumanitarian.org
• Website: https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

As a news source on humanitarian crises, its reporting gives insight to policymakers, practitioners, and others who want to make the world more humane. The New Humanitarian was founded by the United Nations in 1995, out of the conviction that objective on-the-ground reporting of humanitarian crises could help mitigate or even prevent future disasters.
