Thank you for your interest in Documented!
A Documented story should always center low-income immigrants in its reporting or reveal something about the consequences of the immigration system on our neighbors and communities.
These stories may be placed-based, industry-based, or about systems and agencies. Regardless of the framing, the story must tell us something new and keep the experience of living as an immigrant in New York as the focus of the story.
Going deep on a commonly discussed issue is usually not enough. We follow all of the issues very closely, so if the story does not reveal new information about whatever you are covering, then it is not for us.
Note, while we primarily publish written stories, we may consider pitches for other formats including photography, video or short-form social media.
