DUNIYA: Housing in Asia’s Capital Cities
DUNIA is an independent investigative journalism platform based in South Korea. They want “story pitches on housing in capital cities across Asia. We are 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. We are particularly looking for 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 want reported features (1,000–1,500 words), Human story, First-person reported essays grounded in structural analysis, and Multimedia proposals (photo, short video, audio). “Freelance journalists, researchers, and media practitioners based in Asian capital cities are encouraged to pitch.” They publish in English and Korean, and pay $80-150.
