The Contrapuntal is “an independent non-profit publication devoted to delivering rigorously researched, accessible, and factually accurate journalism from a ground-up perspective.” They’re looking for submissions for a new project on Disappearances:

“The Contrapuntal Magazine invites journalists, researchers, writers, photographers, and artists to contribute to Disappearances, a new project exploring voices and experiences that are commonly silenced, and the structures and discourses that sustain this silencing.

We welcome critical, people-centred storytelling that challenges dominant narratives and offers nuanced perspectives on realities that are often erased or overlooked.”

They pay €200 for reportage (1,500 to 2,000 words) and €200 for visual essays consisting of 12 to 14 visual outputs, with the final length agreed upon at commissioning. Analytical op-eds of 2,500 to 3,000 words pay €100. Artistic features pay a €50 artist honorarium. Send your submissions to submissions.thecontrapuntal@protonmail.com.

Deadline: December 1st, 2026
