freelancer:
Read the newspaper before you pitch. Get to know the various sections in our publication. In your pitch, explain where in the publication you think your story would best fit and how it will benefit our readers. We are only interested in fresh pieces that appeal to the urban reader. We want bite, solid reasoning, unknown but relevant facts, and good grammar. We address our readers as intelligent, sophisticated, and inquisitive people. Each week we reach about 1.2 million urban tastemakers and trendsetters, well educated professional men and women between the ages of 21 and 45.
We assign approximately 40 percent of the features each month to freelance writers familiar with the entertainment industry, corporate America, entrepreneurs and community-based organizations in their respective markets. We hire experienced writers because they know the market, the craft, our audience, lifestyle trends and business etiquette.
