Pitches wanted (global news, narrative features) (worldwide) | $1 per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER 

Edith Honan, Features Editor at Global News Correspondents Desk at Insider, is looking for pitches:

Topping the list of most-read features of 2022 from my Insider News features desk: Kelsey Vlamis's account of a near-death fall from North America's highest peak and Katie Livingstone's profile of hapless volunteer soldiers in Ukraine.

Happy reading: https://www.businessinsider.com/top-10-insider-news-features-of-2022-2022-12

Four of the most-read stories of the year were reported from outside the US: Katie Livingstone and
Alan Chin reported from Ukraine; Ryan Lenora Brown reported from South Africa; and Danielle Mackey and Fred Ramos reported from El Salvador.

And by the way, the stories from last year's list hold up, so I hope you'll check those out too: https://www.businessinsider.com/here-are-15-of-our-most-read-stories-of-2021-2021-12

Many thanks to Diversify Photo and Women Photograph for recommending some brilliant photographers. We regularly assign photographers, as well as photo essays, and I'd love to get more pitches in this new year. (See Alan Chin's work for us for some examples: https://www.businessinsider.com/author/alan-chin)

And writers: If this work inspires you, we're always looking for great pitches. Check out the most-read stories here for some examples. Broadly, I'm looking for character-driven and in-depth narrative features that break ground. Feature rate is $1 per word.
