COMPANY/PUBLICATION: TYPE INVESTIGATIONS

Sasha Belenky, Senior Editor at Type Investigations, is looking for pitches:

We've updated the Type Investigations pitch guide and want to hear from you.

We cover the most urgent stories within a wide range of topic areas, including racial and economic justice, climate and environmental health, and civil and human rights. Our work is focused on systems, policies, and powerful entities, and we are committed to elevating stories from the communities most affected by wrongdoing.

Written features generally run between 3,000 and 5,000 words — though we do publish articles that are shorter and longer. Typical budgets range from $3,000 to $6,000 (including travel and other reporting expenses, as well as the reporting fee) and are based on the submission of a detailed reporting plan. We pay a portion of the fee upfront.

Please take a look at what we're looking for right now, and send your story ideas our way: https://www.typeinvestigations.org/about/how-to-pitch/
