The Objective is a nonprofit newsroom that publishes articles on communities journalism in the United States has typically ignored. They’re looking for pitches for their upcoming magazine: Since 2020. They want pitches on stories about post-2020 shifts: “diversity in newsrooms and media, how standards have or haven't changed after promises to shift anti-Blackness and move toward equity, and availability or lack thereof in funding for certain beats.” They’re “especially interested in commissioning stories from reporters of marginalized backgrounds, and organizers who are adjacent to and have been affected by journalism in the communities they’re in.”

They’re seeking primarily reported news stories between 800 and 1,200 words. They pay $0.50 per word. To learn more, refer to their post and pitch call.
