This is a nonprofit newsroom of independent investigative
journalism that works in partnership with print, broadcast, and digital media outlets.
They’re open for pitches for investigative projects for 2022. They do not publish international stories that don't involve a
U.S. policy, institution, or corporation. They
have extensive guidelines, and are specially interested in
these topics:
-- Communities, corporations, and governments responding
to the climate crisis. “As the climate crisis becomes increasingly severe, we’re interested
in how people and institutions are reacting to a rapidly warming planet: who’s
profiting, who’s getting left behind, and what new systems of power are
emerging.”
-- The long tail of COVID. “The pandemic has exposed
and exacerbated systemic inequalities throughout society. We want to continue
to highlight how COVID-19 has affected vulnerable groups and examine the
failures of companies and U.S. government agencies charged with safeguarding
workers and the public.”
-- The
radical right. “In the wake of the January 6
attack on the U.S. Capitol, right-wing extremism remains a powerful and
ascendant force. We want to continue to track this movement and uncover how it
is influencing politics and society on a local, state, and national level.”
-- Labor and economic inequality. “We
want to continue our long track record of exposing workplace discrimination and
unsafe labor practices — highlighting the disenfranchisement of workers in the
current gig economy, scrutinizing longstanding abuses, and holding individuals,
companies, and regulatory agencies to account.”
-- Threats to democracy. “Particularly
in the run-up to the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, we are interested in stories
on disinformation campaigns, efforts to suppress voting rights, how partisan
political firms are working to identify and influence voters, and more.”
-- Reproductive rights. “The
intensifying battle over abortion rights has its roots in decades of
conservative activism. We’re interested in stories that expose the connections
between government and the Christian right — and how their agenda is evolving.”
Written features generally run between 4,000 and 6,000 words — though they do
publish articles that are shorter and longer. Pay is $3,000 to $6,000 (expenses and reporting fee). Details here.
