DUNIA is a South Korea-based independent investigative journalism platform. They publish in English and Korean. They’re seeking pitches for stories on housing in capital cities across Asia. They’re interested in “reporting that moves beyond real estate trends and examines housing as a structural issue tied to inequality, labor, migration, finance, and climate vulnerability.” They’re particularly seeking stories that explore:

- “How many years does it take for an ordinary citizen or resident to afford and own a home in your capital city?”

- “What kind of housing is realistically attainable at the median income level?”

- “What does a ‘dream home’ look like for someone in your income bracket?”

- “Where is considered the ‘ideal’ location to live in your city — and why?”

- “Where are the most affordable or cheapest housing areas in the capital? Who lives there?”

They welcome reported features (1,000 to 1,500 words), human stories, first-person reported essays grounded in structural analysis, and multimedia proposals (photos, short videos, and audio). Rates are $80 to $150 per piece. If interested, send your pitches to contact@thedunia.org. To learn more, refer to their post and ‘about’ page.
