Pitches wanted (media, journalism) | $200 to $600 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE OBJECTIVE JOURNALISM

Gabe Schneider, Co-Founder of The Objective, is looking for pitches:

Media criticism and reporting urgently needs to be better. As a field, journalism needs to be better about listening to and taking in criticism. And there needs to be more spaces for diverse media reporting and criticism — that's why The Objective Journalism exists.

Journalism cannot continue to center the same voices. Journalists (and more broadly, communities) who have been marginalized by mainstream newsrooms need to be at the forefront of the conversation.

If you to help us build The Objective or pitch us on a story or talk about anything else, you can contact us on our site.

Rates: Between $200 and $600, depending on the reporting and work involved (essentially ranging from a Q&A to a thoroughly reported piece).

CONTACT INFORMATION:

• Submissions: Via the webform
