Write for us

Prime Daily Briefing welcomes pitches that help general readers understand a public issue, its framing or the institutions involved. We value a precise question, a clear line of explanation and a sensible account of uncertainty.

What to pitch

Propose an evergreen explainer, comparison or close reading of a public argument. Strong pitches identify the reader's question, explain why the subject is worth untangling and show what your piece would clarify without turning into advocacy.

What to include

Use the Contact page to send a short outline, a working title and a brief note about relevant experience or published writing, if any. Say what material would support the piece and note any interests or relationships that could affect how readers understand it.

Before sending

Please pitch the idea rather than submitting a finished article unless we have agreed otherwise. Do not include confidential information or material you are not entitled to share. Proposals are sent through the Contact page.
