What we are looking for

Interviews and profiles

Help us amplify leaders and up-and-comers in media. Share their career trajectory, personal stories or perspectives we may not often hear about. Please only pitch an interview or profile if you have established contact with your subject.

Media commentary and critiques

We are an open forum for your critiques on the entertainment and broader media industry. Apart from sharing your views, we’d like commentary supported by research and other credible sources. 

Narrative journalism

These longer features should include unique perspectives on issues within the entertainment and broader media industry. These should be well-researched and well-sourced, and while providing a point-of-view, do not explicitly express your personal opinion on these issues.

News

We welcome quick-turn, non-breaking news stories. Please label general news pitches with the subject line “NEWS PITCH” followed by the topic. For timely news pitches that are not breaking news, please send your pitch with the subject line “TIMELY NEWS PITCH” followed by the topic.

Personal essays 

Are you navigating your career in film, television, music and/or other media? We’d like to hear from you. Share your experiences and lessons you’ve learned so far that you wish you knew when you started out. 

Reviews

Each review should be for new or upcoming music, film, television or book releases. We ask that you have access to this media prior to pitching and to provide a well-researched and sourced piece to support your opinions.

Payment

Our current rates are $100-150 per accepted contribution of 750-950 words. We ask you to send an invoice for your work and you will be paid within 15 days of publication. If we can no longer publish your work, we will pay a 50% cancellation fee.
