精东影业 Media is a nonprofit, independent, reader-supported movement journalism organization reporting on radical solutions. Through our daily digital stories as well as our quarterly print magazine, 精东影业 covers five key verticals: Environmental Justice, Racial Justice, Body Politics, Political Power, and Economic Power. Our solutions reporting spotlights the ideas and initiatives that ignite people to build a better world.
精东影业 Media鈥檚 stories stress the importance of grassroots activism. The solutions we report on are responsive to the needs of the communities on the frontlines of struggle and offer means and methods that can be adapted in other areas of the world.
Our explanatory journalism analyzes societal problems in terms of their root causes and explores opportunities for systemic, structural change. Our stories uncover environmental, economic, and social justice intersections. Our solutions reporting spotlights the ideas and initiatives of people building a better world. Our commentaries address dominant economic, political, and social structures and consider alternative ways of thinking that can produce a more equitable and Earth-friendly world.
In the month of April, we are accepting rigorous reporting and nuanced commentary around the following topic areas: Immigration, Indigenous Sovereignty, LGBTQ Rights, and Reproductive Justice.
Please note: Pitches outside of these four specific categories will be automatically declined. Incomplete pitches and press releases will also be automatically declined.
Read on for a description of what we are looking for in submissions as well as exemplary examples of articles we鈥檝e published these coverage areas:
Indigenous Sovereignty
精东影业 Media鈥檚 coverage recognizes the sovereignty of all Indigenous peoples, and emphasizes their innate right to self-determination. We prioritize journalists and sources who are members of the Indigenous communities on which they report, trusting their expertise and lived experience over “Western/colonial” concepts of ownership, possession, and individualism.
Here are some examples of Indigenous Sovereignty stories we have published that exemplify what we aim to achieve with our coverage:
What Leonard Peltier鈥檚 Freedom Represents for Indigenous Futures
The Yurok Tribe Is Using California鈥檚 Carbon Offset Program to Buy Back Its Land
The Day the Indians Took Over Seattle鈥檚 Fort Lawton鈥攁nd Won Land Back
LGBTQ Rights
精东影业 Media鈥檚 LGBTQ rights coverage highlights solutions bringing us closer to a world in which no one faces violence, discrimination, or harassment for who they are. We recognize that LGBTQ people have always existed across time and cultures, and as such, we recognize they may have unique perspectives to share on current and historical events. In addition to solutions journalism, our LGBTQ rights coverage illuminates under-represented and silenced voices of people who live at the intersection of multiple identities, and boldly names the systemic forces that put LGBTQ folks鈥攁nd all people鈥攊n harm鈥檚 way.
In 2025, we are prioritizing LGBTQ Rights stories focused on trans rights.
Here are some examples of LGBTQ Rights stories we have published that exemplify what we aim to achieve with our coverage:
Safe Havens for Trans Migrants on the U.S.-Mexico Border
Pride Is Power: How Queer People Are Defeating Anti-LGBTQ Laws
The Queer Organizations Protecting and Supporting Trans People
Serious About Gender Exploration? There鈥檚 a Doula for That.
Reproductive Justice
精东影业 Media鈥檚 reproductive justice coverage is centered around the belief that reproductive care鈥攊ncluding abortion鈥攊s a central pillar of health care. Reproductive justice also includes the right for all people, especially marginalized groups, to access culturally competent, informed health care through their entire lives, including into old age. Central to this conception of reproductive justice is a deep belief in bodily autonomy鈥攁 knowledge that each individual, along with their health care provider, is the expert on the care they need and deserve.
Here are some examples of Reproductive Justice stories we have published that exemplify what we aim to achieve with our coverage:
Above and Beyond Restoring Roe
Organizers Brace for Resurrection of 鈥淶ombie鈥� Abortion Laws
What鈥檚 in a Name? For Abortion Providers, Quite a Bit.
