The Stanley Center is organizing a multimedia project that examines how the pandemic itself and government responses can either mitigate or contribute to risk factors for atrocities.
Drawing on our experience and networks in both atrocity prevention and journalism and media, we are commissioning a series of pieces that use the UN’s Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes and Alex Bellamy’s five factors for strengthening resilience as lenses of analysis.
The Stanley Center offers competitive rates for freelance work, typically negotiating flat rates with each author depending on experience, approach, and length and scope of the work. For this project, we’re looking for pieces between 800 and 1,500 words, but those aren’t firm limits. The FAQ on this page explains what we’re looking for in a pitch in case you you’d like to highlight any details when sharing: https://stanleycenter.org/publications/covid19-violence-resilience/
We pay up to $1/word or negotiate a flat rate, depending on the specifics of the piece commissioned. We also reimburse for pre-approved travel expenses necessary for the commission (e.g. airfare, hotel, travel insurance, etc.).
