As the journalism industry evolves, newspapers, magazines, and websites are relying more and more on freelance writers. In fact, there has never been a better time to break into journalism as a freelancer—and that means this is the time to learn how to pitch. In this course, taught by a former New York Times
editor, learn how to hatch fresh story ideas that will draw editors’ attention and how to portray these ideas in winning ways. Whether your target publication is BuzzFeed or The Wall Street Journal
or whether you write features, profiles, or criticism, the pitch is the key to opening editors’ doors, getting your writing noticed, and getting paid. Questions? Contact us at The Center for Publishing and Applied Liberal Arts (PALA). Email sps.pala.ce@nyu.edu or call 212-998-7289.
