Straight Arrow News is open to freelance writing pitches from skilled journalists and content writers who can make local stories matter to a national audience. They want fact-based, unbiased reporting that breaks down important, timely issues—whether it’s a state law that could impact the rest of the country, or a city’s public service failure (e.g., water quality, garbage collection, improper billing) that reflects a bigger problem nationwide.
