RESOURCES

You should know by now to never put all your eggs in one basket — especially if the eggs are publications that ignore your invoices. Freelancing is a juggling act, and relying on only one resource to find gigs won’t work. 

Have resources you’d like to see added that have helped you? Send them to [email protected] for approval with “Resource:” in the subject line.

-The Developing An Investigative Pitch guide by the Ida B. Wells Society is a great resource for any reporter interested in investigative journalism. It provides a 29-page walkthrough to develop the perfect pitch, including tips for choosing a character for your investigation. 

-Food writer Priya Krishna’s list of resources on her website includes tips on getting into food writing, sending cold emails, tips for freelancing, and invaluable accounts and groups to follow, including the Writers of Color Twitter and Journalists of Color Slack.

THREE QUESTIONS WITH A COMMISSIONING EDITOR 

If years of playing The Sims taught me anything, it’s that you need to eat regularly or you will die. Food is tied to socioeconomic class, culture, race, and so many other aspects of our lives, which also means reporting on food is an endless bounty if you dig deep enough. This week, I talked to Jesse Hirsch, managing editor of The Counter, about the key to a perfect pitch and the need for food reporting in areas far removed from coastal cities.

SH: Are there any blind spots missing in coverage of food and farming that you’d encourage writers to send pitches about? 

JH: I’m not sure if it’s a blind spot, per se, but there aren’t that many outlets getting into the nitty gritty of food production, labor, policy, culture, economics, and inclusion, at least on a regular and consistent basis. We want people to think of The Counter as a go-to source for thoughtful, deeply reported stories on predatory delivery apps, soil health, food labeling, restaurant industry inequity, plant-based everything, fast food unions, land ownership, agricultural tech — really any aspect of food between the farm and your fork (pardon the cliche). You don’t necessarily need a deep storehouse of agricultural policy knowledge to write for us, either. You just need a well-researched kernel of a story idea and the willingness to dig in thoroughly. 

Conversely, we don’t do restaurant reviews, recipes, or chef news. We also steer clear of credulous stories that claim Startup X or Nonprofit Y are going to upend or disrupt the food industry forever, or hyper-focused profiles of one restaurant, farm, or entrepreneur (some of our most common pitches). If you have an idea rooting around that feels unusual/outside our typical coverage, send it in and we’d be happy to talk it through. Our freelancers seem to appreciate that we’ll hop on the phone and workshop pitches that have promise.

SH: A big critique in the media industry is that there’s too much of a focus on coastal cities. What advice would you give to rural-based writers who may feel shut out by traditional outlets?

JH: I’ve heard these complaints for most of my career, with the corollary that you simply must live or work in NYC or a couple of other cities to freelance effectively. I honestly think that dynamic has shifted somewhat in the past five years, as national outlets contend with the limitations of desk reporting and recognize how many US stories happen outside urban centers. At The Counter, in particular, we love having writers outside the typical media hotspots. In the past few months, we’ve published pieces from freelancers in Louisiana, Arizona, Florida, Alaska, Arkansas, Nova Scotia, Utah, and Tennessee. This isn’t just lip service: We truly want and need a robust stable of freelancers reporting from all over the country, and not being in NYC or DC will likely work to your advantage!

SH: You receive a lot of freelance pitches at The Counter. Are there any key ingredients to a good pitch that stand out to you?

JH: It’s always a fine balance in pitching between not wanting to report too much before a story is accepted, but needing to give enough info to entice an editor to take it. One thing that we often see is pitches framed as a question, without a real sense of what the outcome will be. Of course, a pitched story’s contours may change over the course of your reporting, but there needs to be at least a solid sense of where you think the story is headed. We get way too many pitches that are like “What will the meat industry look like after the pandemic? Unclear, but I’ll look into it!”

Finally, we love pitches that find a new way into a familiar story. So don’t hesitate to pitch us on something you’ve already seen reported elsewhere — give it a fresh angle! For instance, when lots of outlets were reporting on distilleries making hand sanitizer last year, we took a smart pitch about how an obscure FDA rule was making the pivot cost-prohibitive. Or when there were tons of stories about panic shopping and grocery hoarding, another writer pitched a solid story about the psychology of what items people leave on the shelves in an emergency.

The Counter is looking for pitches of stories on the intersection of food and business, politics, or culture. They are particularly interested in new business models, food safety, nutrition, economics, policy, race, labor, and the great, wide-open middle of the food supply chain — everything that happens between farm and fork. The rates generally start at $0.50 per word, and vary by experience and difficulty of the assignment. Send pitches to [email protected].
