Want to write meaningful, impactful stories relevant to policymakers and the health industry?

We’re looking for writers who can produce clear, concise stories that provide readers with a punch overview of issues through one or more of these lenses:

  • Providers: Hospitals, physicians, nurses, specialists, pharma, equipment/suppliers, etc.
  • Payers: Patients, insurers, employers, and charitable care organizations
  • Programs: Everything from Medicaid to mental health, telehealth to nutrition, workforce to wellness

We value our readers’ time, so we must be willing to spend our time thinking critically about how to structure stories to give readers what they need to know. This requires putting the reader first.

Story requirements:

  • Be 350 to 500 words
  • Start with a compelling and concise lede
  • Follow with a brief subheading: “Why it matters”
  • Include relevant context via subsections such as “The bigger picture,” “Yes, but,” “Additional context,” and “More detail”
  • Incorporate supporting links throughout, so readers can see our sources

Consistency in story format is important because it helps writers organize impactful writing, and it helps readers quickly understand an issue and its scope. Contributors will have wide latitude to report stories within the health sector, so long as stories satisfy these guidelines and follow the facts.
