Work For Us

We’re always looking for talented freelance writers to contribute engaging and important stories to OC Media.

Whether your focus is on politics, society, conflict, the environment, or other pressing issues, we want to hear from you. Our aim is to amplify voices that are often overlooked, and we welcome submissions that reflect this mission.

What we’re looking for:

• Fresh, original stories that shine a light on underreported issues.
• A balanced, objective approach, with comments from all relevant sides.
• Stories free from racism, sexism, homophobia, or any form of intolerance.

Basic guidelines:

• Word length:
• Feature stories and analyses: 1,000–4,000 words.
• Opinions: 1,000–1,500 words.
• Reviews: 500–1,000 words
• Always address the five W’s and H (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How) early in the article.
• Provide visuals where possible —  pictures, videos, or infographics help enhance the story.
• Always include captions and credit sources for all visuals.

Remuneration:

• €160 gross for feature stories and analyses
• Multimedia bonus: €25 for at least five quality pictures or video clips to visualise the story.
• €100 gross for opinions.
• €90 gross for interviews.
• €50 gross for reviews.
• A different remuneration can be negotiated for non–feature story formats.

How to submit:

Complete our pitching form, including examples of previous work if you have not previously written for us.

We prefer pitches over completed articles, but if you have a polished piece, feel free to submit it to [email protected] for review.

We look forward to reading your ideas!
