Write for A2P
Experienced Writers
The FCC published a report recently on the state of American media. In that report it was estimated that “citizen journalists spend billions of hours” each year generating editorial content for blogs and online news sites. The bulk of those citizen-journalists generate that content for little or no pay.
If you’re an experienced writer with a great work ethic, a unique voice, and you’re capable of producing writing that is as smart as the people who read and comment on this site, we’ll pay you to do it.
At the moment, we’re looking for writers who can produce compelling content on the following subjects:
music, culture, sex, education, environment, profiles & features.
Please apply electronically: Send a letter, resume, 800 word sample column, and links to three of your best pieces to: A2P at A2Politico dot com. Don’t apply until you’ve read the site and have a good understanding of the tone of what we use, and the kind of content we’re likely to post.
If your materials knock off our socks, we’ll be in touch.
