Pitches wanted (economy, education, church stories, etc.) | 50+ cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: COMMON GOOD

Aaron Cline Hanbury, Editor at Common Good, is looking for pitches:

We're got a few things we're working on, and I hoping some of you can contribute.

First, do any of you live in or relatively near Tulsa, Oklahoma? I'm look for some feature reporting around the city's economic development efforts over the last decade or so. If you're there and potentially interested, email me at aaron@commongoodmag.com and let's talk.

Second, around the Common Good channels, we've got some topics we're looking to explore over the next few months. Specifically:

• I'm looking to publish some reporting about the current landscape of teaching and education.
• Are you super familiar with standard/common financial advice? I'm looking for someone to do some interviews with economists to see how the advice squares with economic data.
• As always, we're on the look out for church stories, specifically stories of churches doing something interesting within their communities. (For example, I just read about a church that paid to have its pastor trained for another job in order to become bivocational when the church's money ran out.)
• Did you see this news from WSJ? Workers are happier? We want to know why.

If you any of the above ideas seem interesting to you and you think you can contribute something great, we want to hear from you. Shoot an email to editors@commongoodmag.com and let's talk.

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay 50+ cents per word. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
