Pitches wanted for series exploring important news stories | ~50 to 60 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: UNDERCOVERED

We’re looking for talented and passionate journalists to contribute to Frame’s ‘Undercovered’ series, which explores important news stories that aren’t getting enough attention from the mainstream media. Past stories include an exploration of how the U.S. military is the biggest institutional carbon emitter in the world and a dive into a niche law that is being used to intimidate and imprison activists in India. Each Undercovered story is published in an immersive format that reimagines the traditional digital news article and aims to foster deeper engagement around critical and underreported stories.

If you’ve got a story that’s under-the-radar, a crisis that’s going unnoticed, a pressing development in your beat that’s not being given enough attention, we’d love to hear from you. Undercovered stories range from around 500 - 600 words and the rate for each story is $300.

To submit a pitch, email resume, two original Undercovered ideas and some writing samples to anusha@frame.media.

Here’s a little more info on Frame: We’re a media company that publishes interactive, immersive journalism on big social and political issues. We’re a Murrow Award-winning publication and are backed by Snap Inc.’s Yellow Accelerator and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, among others.
