The Examination, a start-up nonprofit newsroom focused on global public health crises, is accepting pitches.
Pitches must centre on under-covered public health crises fueled by corporate practices and profit-seeking.
The Examination’s beats include tobacco, industrialised food and corporate polluters.
All contributors on greenlit proposals are paid for their work. Freelancers will also be paid to develop promising pitches that require more research or pre-reporting.
