ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Public is an online magazine dedicated to exploring the legal and social underpinnings of workers’ rights in America. It publishes everything from explainers on current legal cases and why they matter, to history pieces on the evolution of workers’ rights, photo-essays from the front-lines of labor, and perhaps most importantly, first-hand stories from underserved communities most affected when laws go unenforced.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN SUBMISSION

  • Your first couple sentences, helpful to hear how you sound on the page.
  • A couple sentences on what you want to write/report on, why it’s important (Is there a riot? A new study? A story yet untold?), and who you’re going to talk to.
  • Tell us why you’re the right person to tell this story.
  • Got a couple clips to send? That’s great too. [optional]
  • Is your pitch timely? Please say so in the subject line of your email.
