Sojourners is looking for writers

Sojourners is looking for writers to contribute stories that explore the vast motivations behind people of faith involved in justice work.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Sojourners magazine and digital publication addresses issues of faith, politics, and culture from a biblical perspective. Sojourners reaches 5 million readers annually – educating, inspiring, and mobilizing readers to put their faith in action for social justice.

What type of stories are we interested in? Succinctly: Faith and justice. We’re looking for stories that explore the vast motivations behind people of faith involved in justice work. There’s great examples across sojo.net

ABOUT THE ROLE

The online news team at Sojourners is looking for more freelance reporters to work with. Right now, we are especially looking for people with reporting and news experience. We love to help folks become reporters, but we also need people who are familiar with the inverted pyramid, the rush of breaking news, etc.

While we’re always grateful for reporters with religion experience (personally or professionally) it is not a requirement — we’d love to help established reporters add religion stories to their clips!

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN SUBMISSION

• Write an introduction
• Attach links to any websites, resume, clips
• Write in your subject line: Freelancer introduction.

COMPENSATION

• $250-350 for online reported pieces, depending on the workload of the piece. We are typically looking for people who can turn around a story in 5-8 business days or less, and online stories typically have 3-4 sources.
