1️⃣ Calls to Pitch
($300 - $450) The Margin | The Margin is actively seeking journalists to report on communities on the frontlines of environmental and climate injustice. They're especially looking for pitches on data centers, energy infrastructure, food systems, wildfire, and stories from underreported regions (the Midwest, the Deep South, Puerto Rico, Hawai'i). Black, Indigenous, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ journalists are especially encouraged to pitch. They offer rigorous editorial support, custom data visualizations, and collaborative editing, and prefer journalists who are proximate to or reflective of the communities they cover. Rates are $300 for criticism and reportage of 1500-2000 words and $450 for ~3000 words. More details and submit your pitch via their pitch guidelines.
