The easiest way to do that is to <a href="https://source.opennews.org/articles/suggest/">suggest an article</a> or <a href="https://source.opennews.org/code/suggest/">tell us about a repo</a>.</p> <p><h3>What We’re Looking For</h3></p> <p>We publish project introductions and walkthroughs of tools developed in and for newsrooms, along with detailed case studies and examinations of specific issues in news development and data journalism. </p> <p>We pay $500 on publication for longer case studies and topical primers, which usually undergo several editorial passes, and we pay $200 for some shorter pieces we solicit, including solicited event writeups and reported pieces. The majority of our project writeups are written by the people who made the projects, and for these we offer boundless gratitude and the warm feeling of having contributed to the community’s documentation resources.
