Aftermath is a worker-owned site focused on video games and internet culture. What they’re looking for:
“Aftermath is committed to using our position as an independent, worker-owned outlet to tell the kinds of stories other outlets can’t. Free from the pressures of SEO, traffic, and the latest big game, we want stories that highlight important, under-explored facets of gaming and technology, as well as stories that hold powerful figures to account. We like stories that are focused on people rather than products, whether that’s developers and game workers, players, online and fan communities, or journalists.
We’re especially interested in investigative or reported stories and stories that include the voices of players, workers, and community members. Games journalism has less and less room for investigative reporting these days, and we’re happy to carry that mantle as much as we can within our means.
We’re also interested in essays that connect games, technology, and the internet to politics, current events, cultural trends, and other areas. We’re open to experimental formats that tell stories in ways beyond text.”
Rates are $300 for shorter pieces, and $500 for pieces involving more in-depth reporting and analysis. If interested, send your pitches to mail@aftermath.site. For more details, refer to this post and their pitch guide.
