We have new pitch guidelines for freelancers. Do you have a great story idea?
BEFORE YOU PITCH:
Have we covered it before?
HOW TO PITCH:
- The pitch should include a working headline, a 200-word summary of the story, ideas for photos or infographics, and a proposed word count. If there is a deadline by which you need an answer, please specify.
- The summary should include: why our readers should care about this story; why this is an important story now; how your story will build on what has already been said about this topic; links to relevant studies and source bios; and an estimated budget if there are travel or production costs.
- If you haven’t written for us before, include links to recently published work and a resume.
- We expect you to reach out to sources who reflect diversity in gender, race/ethnicity, geography, age, socioeconomic background, etc. There are many databases and resources for finding sources. If you need suggestions, ask your editor.
- Please note: we need time to consider pitches as a group, and due to the volume of emails we regrettably are unable to respond to every one.
