I’m a big fan of the work you’re doing - as someone who lives in bright red West TX but has written OpEds a few times for legacy publications offering more nuanced takes on the culture here, I get how hard it is to cross the finish line w a piece that doesn’t ideologically reflect the progressive worldview. They want “diverse perspectives” until the perspective is diverse.
Thanks Matthew! Kind of you to say. I feel dumb asking the “how to pitch” question - I’ve looked and looked to no avail though! I have quite a few story ideas that were almost but not quite accepted by some of the legacy outlets. It could be that they just weren’t good enough - I’m new to game and lack experience, so fair enough - but sometimes I feel like it’s bc they are just not conformative enough. Which is scary to me, bc I don’t write from a fringe perspective.
Carrie, isthere a place or a newsletter that you can send out once a month or here on Substack for those of us that want to understand other perspectives?
How do writers pitch you/your team?

Progressives say “diversity” but practice “divisionry”. BTW, I just coined that non-word. 😬
Nice!
Love it!
Bari - common sense would benefit from Carrie’s perspective.
