Jenny Splitter, Managing Editor at Sentient Media, is looking for pitches: I'm looking for new pitches for Sentient Media. Who are we? Our mission is to change the conversation around animal agriculture. Big picture: we're looking to get people talking about the impacts, injustices and consequences of meat and dairy farming. Pitch me ideas for stories that give the reader new information or analysis on animal agriculture — could be climate emissions, air and water pollution, ecosystem and biodiversity impacts, rewilding projects, public health research, something else? Yes, we also cover new animal behavior research, including studies of animal sentience. These stories tap into the public’s growing curiosity about the inner lives and experiences of animals. Here's a recent one: https://sentientmedia.org/young-chickens-play-study/ All of our stories are animal-sensitive — which means we always include the experience and well-being of animals in our reporting and analysis. Our rates start at $200 and go up from there. We pay higher rates for experienced writers and journalists, and stories that require significant reporting or research. To pitch, send one paragraph explaining the story you want to write (the big takeaway and why it’s important to cover this angle now) and 3-5 bullet points of the story along with a few published clips to jenny@sentientmedia.org. Open to international writers? Yes.
