📝 What They’re Looking For:
Prism is commissioning deeply reported pieces, features, op-eds, and explainers that center U.S. imperialism and Palestine—even if there’s no direct U.S. angle. As a newsroom focused on justice and collective liberation, Prism believes it has a moral duty to cover the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza and the broader consequences of U.S. policies in the Global South.
Writers from or based in Palestine (including Gaza and the West Bank) are especially encouraged to pitch. Stories should highlight resistance, lived realities, and the human cost of imperialism, with nuance and compassion.
📚 Resources/Guides:
- Why Prism Covers U.S.-Backed Genocide & Imperialism
- Prism’s Stories on Imperialism
- A Gaza Dispatch: “My children were martyred before they could even finish the bag of treats.”
🚀 How To Get This Client:
Study Prism’s editorial tone—it’s sharp, activist, and unafraid to tackle power structures. Craft pitches that are grounded in reporting but also center marginalized voices and systems of resistance. If you’re based in the Global South or directly impacted by U.S. policies, highlight your perspective.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip:
Pitching to Prism requires more than hot takes. Show them you’re ready to do deep reporting and bring fresh, underreported angles. Even experienced writers need training to land such clients—Sure Media’s Training Program can help you level up fast.
