What They’re Looking For:

New_ Public is accepting pitches from writers who can explore the intersection of community and tech. If you have strong, thoughtful ideas around how people connect online—from local Facebook groups to decentralized social media, civic clubs, or innovative forms of public space—this is your zone.

They want bold takes, well-reasoned arguments, and a pulse on what’s working (or not) in digital community building.

💡 Not looking for: Tech reviews, personal essays, investigative reports, or anything that reads like marketing.
