Feature and Investigative Contributor

The EdLines also pays for article submissions from journalists, school paper advisers and campus journalists.

To start, submit a brief outline – not the finished piece — of your proposed article with no more than 350 words. The outline should include a short explanation of what’s newsworthy about your pitch and an identification of at least three key players to interview and your main sources of information.

While our content is primarily text-based, multimedia content such as photos and videos can enrich your story. We provide separate pay for such content.

Our editors may offer advice to tailor it for our audience. While we strive to provide prompt feedback, we cannot guarantee a response to every pitch.
