Are you a communications staffer with the federal government, or any other federal employee who’s furloughed and has news-writing experience?
If so, ARLnow wants you.
Thanks to our Patreon community, ARLnow is now commissioning longer, community-focused articles from local freelance writers. (And with additional reader support, we could be doing more.) With the shutdown still going on, we’d like to help out by commissioning articles from federal employees who can use the supplemental income.
So if you are furloughed and have a local Arlington story to pitch, email us at [email protected] and let us know what you’d like to write about — anything from human interest feature stories to explorations of local issues or policies. Also please include links to an article or two you’ve written in the past.
We can publish the article under a pseudonym, if need be, given any such restrictions at your federal agency.
