Youth Today, a publication of the Center for Sustainable Journalism at Kennesaw State University, is accepting pitches for reported pieces.
We are commissioning written stories, journalistic photo essays and/or short, three to five minute, fully-edited multimedia videos that tell a compelling story related to vulnerable youth and the child welfare system in New Mexico. We are giving special attention to the following topics as they intersect with the state’s child welfare system:
- foster care
- education
- juvenile justice
- teen homelessness
- mental health
- trauma
- addiction
- refugees
- immigration
- LGBTQ issues
- race and ethnicity
- state budgets and expenditures on child welfare
We are particularly interested in narrative features, investigative reporting and visual storytelling, but are open to straightforward news as well. Written pieces can be as short as 600 words or up to 1,400 for the right piece. Articles need to be written in AP style.
Pay is $1 per word, and up to $1,400 for photos/videos. You may send questions or pitches to Meris Lutz, mlutz@csjournalism.org.
