What They’re Looking For:

Mozilla Foundation is seeking freelance journalists and writers who can explore the intersection of culture and technology for a new project. The focus is on the tension between mainstream culture and counter-culture, with strong storytelling around:

• Niche communities & subcultures
• Taste creation & influence
• Sports, fashion, beauty, food, cars, wellness, religion
• The social, cultural, and spiritual pillars shaping our world

Bonus: Stories with a digital privacy angle will stand out.

Resources/Guides:

• Mozilla Foundation Website – learn their mission and values
• Editor’s LinkedIn Profile – review her past work and editorial style

How To Get This Client:

Pitch something fresh, specific, and deeply reported. Mozilla is looking for stories that merge tech insight with human experience—not generic trend pieces. Show them you can connect cultural phenomena to broader issues like privacy, ethics, and community identity.

💡 Pro Tip: Your pitch should answer: Why does this story matter now? Who will care? Add strong examples or case studies to make it irresistible.
