The Margin covers “money, markets, culture — and everything in between.” Their writer and editor is looking for pitches:
“I’m editing, too, and freelancers, that means I WANT YOUR PITCHES! There are financial stories everywhere for those with the eyes to see them, and I want your eyes. We’re looking for canny financial reporters capable of working with numbers who can also make an argument in a strong, smart, opinionated tone. This isn’t dry, neutral news writing: the world of cash is one with many viewpoints. Stake your claim, and defend it, even if not everybody agrees with you.”
“For topics, try to either find the story in the money, or the money in the story. In our world of guerilla influencer marketing, Polymarket bets, and meme stocks, there’s a financial side to every big cultural trend. The reverse is true as well: as abstract as they may seem, twitches in the financial markets have real effects on day-to-day life.”
For new writers, they’re looking to assign stories in the range of 900 to 1,200 words. They typically pay $0.40 to $1.00 per word. If interested, email your pitches to anthony@themargin.news. To learn more, refer to this post.
