Write for us

Clear News Dispatch welcomes considered pitches about the language, evidence and context of news. Send proposals through the Contact page; a focused question and a clear account of what readers will learn make a strong start.

What we welcome

Pitch original explainers about headlines, sourcing, framing, corrections, updates or habits for following news. Strong contributions give readers a useful way to examine a real kind of reporting choice without asking them to accept a partisan conclusion.

What makes a good pitch

Tell us the central question, why it matters to a general reader and the main idea the piece will offer. Include a brief outline and note the sources or examples you expect to use. Keep the scope specific, distinguish evidence from opinion and flag any relevant commercial or personal interests.

How to send it

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial option. A proposal is not a commission, and we may ask for clarification before deciding whether it fits. Please do not send confidential or sensitive material through the form.
