Pitch Your Idea
When it comes to freelance journalism, one of the most important aspects to finding work is creating a pitch. For this lab, we will create an email pitch for a story idea to a local newspaper or magazine. This idea can be real or made up, but it must include all of the components of a pitch.

Spend some time researching and developing a story idea that you believe would be relevant to your local newspaper or magazine. Select a story idea that would be something you would consider pitching to the newspaper or magazine.

Using a word processing program, create your email pitch. Be sure to include:

A subject line for the email
A brief description of your story idea
A short statement about your experience (if you don’t have any journalism experience, you can create a fictitious background)
Reference to an online portfolio or attached files of sample work (this can also be fictitious)
Reference to a deadline
Call to action
Contact information
Your email pitch should use proper grammar and contain no spelling errors.
