Editors at The Grio are always on the lookout for new writers. The site, aimed toward the black community, has about half of its content generated by freelancers. The NBC-owned website averages 2 million page views per month and distinguishes itself with video content and a lot of original reporting. Because the site relies so much on video content, editors also welcome pitches from aspiring filmmakers and producers for story-driven, narrative, documentary-style videos.

The Grio has only been around for a couple of years, but editors have already established strong relationships with freelancers who they turn to time and time again. That’s good news for writers looking to break in, because editors are always on the lookout for fresh talent to add to their stable. “Once a writer has been used on a regular basis, we will definitely farm stories out to them based on their specific style and previous pieces they’ve pitched,” explained managing editor Joy-Ann Reid.

The Fiscal Times launched in March 2010 and quickly established itself among the ranks of pubs that cover politics, policy, economics and business. With a global readership similar to that of The Economist, Financial Times and Businessweek, landing a byline at the site means your words will reach everyone from Washington policymakers and corporate execs to college students and retirees.

TFT was named “Best New Site of 2011″ by minOnline, and its contributors include former staffers from The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Freelancers, however, should not be daunted: “We’re always looking for new writers,” said senior editor Blaire Briody. Editors are on the lookout for stories that add value: “We are very interested in profiles of controversial political figures and business leaders, as well as counterintuitive pieces and data-driven analyses of government reports,” said Briody.

In presenting content, we want to egg readers on and motivate them to get through those changes, but also give them the tools to do so by providing a tangible, concrete thing that he needs to do right there. Takeaway value is huge. We want to give readers something they can put into use right away.”
