PITCH US YOUR STORY ON THE FREELANCE REPORTING INITIATIVE

The Freelance Reporting Initiative commissions reporters to write freelance stories highlighting the challenges posed to the journalism industry by the tech giants in two categories. First, the impact of Google and Facebook’s dominance of the digital advertising marketplace and what it means for the future of the news business. And second, the crisis facing local news and ethnic media due to the destruction of the its business model and what that means for affected communities.
 
Our Freelance Reporting Initiative will pay freelancers $2 a word, far more than today’s going rate and reflective of the need to support high-quality journalism. If you’re interested in supporting the Freelance Reporting Initiative, donate here.
 
Pitch us your idea for a story using the form below:

Stories commissioned by the Freelance Reporting Initiative should focus on big tech's impact on the news industry, local communities, news deserts, jobs as a journalist, free speech, the advertising marketplace, and related topics.
If your pitch is selected, we'll work with you to get the story placed.
