Sirena Bergman, Digital Culture Editor of Insider, is looking for pitches:
Here's a comprehensive guide to pitching stories for Insider's digital culture section, including examples, general themes I'm looking for, what I'm NOT looking for, and tips to make sure I spot your email: https://t.co/4JUcpRCdev
If there's anything that I've missed or you have any follow-up Qs, feel free to get in touch. I freelanced for a long time so I want to make sure we're making it as easy as possible to write for us.
Fees really vary a lot depending on the story. Lowest rate for straightforward, minimum reporting news pieces under 600 words for stories pitched to me would be £150.
