Write for us

We welcome original pitches that help readers understand the form, language, history or design of news bulletins. A strong contribution has one clear question, a distinct angle and a useful explanation that does not depend on breaking news.

Ideas that fit

Propose an explainer, comparison, historical account, close reading of a format convention or carefully framed guide to reading a bulletin. Choose a focused subject, explain why it matters to a reader, and show what your piece would add beyond a general overview.

What to include

Send a short summary of the central idea, the proposed approach, the likely sections and any sources or examples you expect to use. Disclose relevant interests that could affect the work. Do not submit confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question or general enquiry option. Please pitch before sending a complete article. A proposal is not a promise of publication, and any commission or terms would be discussed before work begins.
