If you run a business that sells products, getting your products or expertise in front of The New York Times audience can be a powerful visibility opportunity.
One route worth watching is Wirecutter, The New York Times’ product recommendation publication. Wirecutter works with freelance journalists and subject-matter experts covering products, technology, home equipment, kitchen gear, networking, hobbies and other consumer categories.
Wirecutter wants genuine expertise that helps its readers. Ask yourself, “What do I know that would help someone make a better buying decision?”
What you can pitch:
- Shorter reported pieces, odes, and how-to articles on products Wirecutter already covers
- Not long-form reviews, which are handled by staff writers
What it pays:
- About $500 for shorter pieces, plus $100-$300 for photos and videos
- Up to $1,500 for involved updates, and $2,500-$4,000 for new reviews
How to reach them:
- For PCs, networking, smart home, home audio/video, home office, and hobbies, pitch editorial director Jason Chen – jason.chen@wirecutter.com.
- Start your subject line with “Freelance pitch:”
- To introduce yourself for future work, email intro@wirecutter.com
