Mother Jones is seeking pitches for our print culture section Mixed Media, especially those that examine structures of power, explore identity, or illuminate cultural undercurrents.
These could take several forms. Our reported essays weave together media critique, historical/literary research, interviews, and/or personal narrative to make a clear argument.
Deadline: Ongoing, but for ideas to be considered for our summer July/Aug issue, I’d need to hear by April 8.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Mother Jones is an investigative news organization that goes deep on the biggest of the moment, from politics and criminal and racial justice to education, climate change, and food/agriculture. Mixed Media is Mother Jones’s print culture section that examines structures of power, explore identity, or illuminate cultural undercurrents.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
