COMPANY/PUBLICATION: BUSINESS INSIDER

Tekendra Parmar, Technology Editor for Freelancers and Contributors at Business Insider, is looking for pitches:

I'm looking for tech pitches for Business Insider. I'm interested in stories about how the tech industry impacts people, businesses, and society.

From as-told-to stories about the human impact of major business events like layoffs to ambitious features — you can pitch your ideas through this neat little form. PITCH ME: https://airtable.com/shrHq7TtnljgHmL5m

I read everything that goes in here and it's the easiest way to make sure I have eyes on your pitch. My inbox gets full really quickly and I want to make sure I don't miss any good story ideas.

Our rates vary depending on the level of reporting involved. I typically start at $450 for as-told-to or single-interview stories. I can go to $1 a word for ambitious feature projects.
