Freelance print, broadcast and multimedia journalists! -Philadelphia/ NYC/ DC/ LA/ Chicago, All Locations

Description:

Dragonfire is currently accepting freelance pitches. We're doing what we call 360-degree journalism, and we're using multimedia platforms to tell stories. We reach 80,000+ people a day. We pay competitive rates!

What makes Dragonfire different from other online publications? We aim to produce interactive feature stories that either have very strong narratives or examine quirky, bizarre trends.

What makes a good Dragonfire story? We're looking for story pitches that personalize current events and that shed light on a particular newsworthy subject. We produce each issue of Dragonfire around a different theme. (For a list of upcoming themes, please see our Editorial Calendar).

Dragonfire publishes a new issue every two weeks. We tell stories about how news events affect our culture and society. Think of us as a digital, interactive combination of The Atlantic Monthly and NPR's This American Life. We occasionally run text-only features, but our goal is to make each story interactive in some way.

We prefer to work with freelancers who have experience gathering information in multiple formats, but if you're an experienced mainstream media journalist who's new to the interactive game, we're very happy to show you the ropes. Our first concern is solid, bulletproof reporting and stellar writing. If you're new to audio, video or turning your story idea into a multimedia package, we'll show you how to get started. We also offer complimentary in-house multimedia training for freelancers in the greater Philadelphia area.

For a complete description of how to work with us as a freelancer, please see our guidelines.

When we reject story pitches, it’s because they lack a strong narrative or aren’t exposing a new, quirky trend. We also reject pitches when they don’t offer ideas for interactivity.

We want to be touched, to be surprised, to laugh. We want the kind of stories that you can’t help but to forward to your friends and family. And ultimately, we want to learn something.

How to pitch reported stories and features: Please craft a succinct query giving us your location, format style, estimated word count and estimated date by which you can complete the story. Also inform us of other places you've been published and include three or four clips of your work (as URLs or as attachments). Paste the plain text of your query into the body of your Email and be sure to include your complete contact information. Do not send pitches as attachments.

To pitch news, business, technology, science and medicine stories, please contact Associate Editor Jesse Smith at jsmith@dfire.org.

To pitch culture, arts, entertainment, gender stories or to suggest a Philly Profile, please contact Managing Editor Rachel Buchman at audio@dfire.org.

More about Dragonfire: Nine months after our launch, we were nominated for Best Internet Magazine by the Webby Awards, Best Rich Media Website by Editor & Publisher's EPpy Awards, and Best Internet Food Journalism by the Bert Greene Awards. We recently won two Silver Awards for Best Internet Magazine and Best Internet News at the 2006 W3 Awards. This year, we will submit selected freelance work for local and national awards.
