Pitch a story to The Examination

WRITE FOR US

Fearless accountability journalism on the global health beat

We are accepting pitches for originally reported stories that fit into our mission. We are also open to partnering with journalists at other news outlets.

Diseases and afflictions fueled by corporate practices and profit-seeking are responsible for human suffering on a staggering scale. These preventable health crises are under-covered by the news media, and are concentrated in communities that can least bear the cost.

Our reporting seeks to define, describe and even begin to close this health inequity gap, exposing those most responsible — and elevating the voices of those most harmed. Industries with direct roles in damaging the health of communities will be a primary focus.

Our beats include tobacco, industrialized food and corporate polluters, which we will cover in partnership with collaborating journalists around the world.

We expect contributors to disclose any potential conflicts of interest up front. All contributors on greenlit proposals are paid for their work. We will also pay freelancers to develop promising pitches that require more research or pre-reporting.

Here are some tips and guidelines for proposing stories that would make a good fit for The Examination. A strong pitch would answer many of the following questions:
