Nieman Lab has a new pitch guide, and it is here. Hope you’ll find it useful if you have an idea for a story you want to write for us. It includes examples of good pitches we’ve received, and doubles as a brief selection of some of Nieman Lab’s greatest hits.

Once again!

(And here are the pitch guides for our sister publications, Nieman Reports and Nieman Storyboard.)

The media becomes an activist for democracy
“We cannot be neutral about this, by definition. A free press that doesn’t agitate for democracy is an oxymoron.”
Embracing influencers as allies
“News organizations will increasingly rely on digital creators not just as amplifiers but as integral partners in storytelling.”
Action over analysis
“We’ve overindexed on problem articulation, to the point of problem admiring. The risk is that we are analyzing ourselves into inaction and irrelevance.”
