Rising News Spotlight

Write for us

We welcome clear, original pitches that help readers understand how news is reported, presented, updated or read. Send proposals through the Contact page; a proposal is not a promise of publication.

What suits the publication

Good pitches focus on one answerable question, explain why it matters to readers and offer a distinct way into the subject. We are interested in reporting conventions, source use, headlines, news formats, corrections and the habits readers bring to a story.

Make the pitch useful

Include a working title, a short summary, the central point you would explain and the material or examples you would rely on. Flag uncertainty, relevant limitations and any interests that could affect how the piece is read.

Original work and review

Submissions should be original and written in clear, careful language. We may ask for revisions, supporting context or clarification; sending a pitch does not guarantee a response or publication.
