TalkPoverty.org is a project of the Center for American Progress that covers poverty in America. Their editor-in-chief is looking for US-focused pieces about technology and electricity in marginalized communities: “Have a pitch about a tech fix for a policy problem that backfired? A place still missing a basic technology? A memoir about getting access to something?” “I’m interested in forms outside of traditional reporting. I’d love a mix of graphic journalism, first person essays, poetry, and other forms that I haven’t even thought of.” Rate is about $1,000/piece. If interested, send your pitches to mpellittieri@americanprogress.org. To read their editor-in-chief’s Twitter thread, click here. To read their submissions guide, click here.
