Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers understand how regional news is made and read. Send proposals through the Contact page, with enough detail for us to see the question, the approach and why it matters to a curious general reader.

What we welcome

Ideas may examine sourcing, framing, newsroom roles, the movement of a story between formats, or the context that changes how a report is understood. We favour evergreen subjects with a clear reader takeaway over a summary of current headlines.

A strong pitch

Tell us the working angle, the central question, the main points you would explain, and the sources or examples you expect to use. Flag any uncertainty or relevant interest, and say why this subject suits Eastern News Briefing.

Before you send

Pitches should be original, accurately grounded and written for readers without specialist knowledge. Please do not send confidential material or assume that a proposal has been accepted; we will consider whether it fits our coverage.

How to propose

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. Include a concise pitch in the message field; proposals are sent through that page.
