Write for the Dominion: March call for pitches
Write for the Dominion!
The Dominion / Media Co-op pays two contributors each month to write news features: Pitch us your story!
We are actively looking for (and prioritizing) solutions-oriented news pieces with a Canadian angle. See our writer’s guide for other suggested topics and for details about writing for The Dominion:
The Dominion has a special budget – sponsored by Koumbit, a non-profit web development, website creation, graphic design and IT training organization – to pay for one article about technology and society per month (in particular, we’re interested in coverage of copyright, privacy, free software, and net neutrality). These articles are 5-800 words, payment is a flat $50, and they follow the same pitch process outlined below.
Pitches are welcome from anyone; priority goes to those who have previously contributed.
To pitch an article, fill out the form on this page:
If you do not have a Media Co-op account (which you can also use to post photos, audio, video and stories directly to the Media Co-op site), you’ll need to set one up. It takes about a minute, here:
The Dominion / Media Co-op currently pays a flat rate of $100 for accepted stories. Articles are either 800 or 1600 words. Editors reserve the right to suggest changes and edit stories (with your participation, of course!). Pitches should capture the content, tone and style of the story you plan to write; if the content of the article submitted differs significantly from the pitch, editors reserve the right to withhold payment. The Dominion accepts pitches at any time.
Deadline for pitches: March 7
Response to pitches: March 10
First draft deadline for accepted articles: March 19
Final draft deadline: March 24
The next call for pitches will go out March 25.
Best,
The Editors
