I'm thrilled to announce that I've been appointed Deputy Editor of WIRED. I come to the role as a huge fan of WIRED’s reporting in the last couple of years, particularly the incredible work the US team have done on ICE and DOGE. Some of my favourite pieces in recent months include the AI agents coming for your dating life, the integral mysteries of the pelvic floor and life under a digital blackout in Iran - not to mention this week's AI or Die Trying. Now I’m looking for brilliant freelancers in the UK and EU working across technology, politics, science, health, security, culture and beyond. So what will that reporting look like? Across Europe, the political centre is fragmenting as radical movements on both the left and right gain ground. The EU is racing to regulate AI as drone manufacturers are reshaping warfare in Ukraine. Breakthroughs in bioscience are accelerating as vaccine scepticism spreads and the wellness industrial complex grinds on. Defence-tech start-ups are booming, data centres are threatening the green belt and the space race has been privatised. The boundaries between technology, politics and power are collapsing. WIRED’s journalism is about clarity at a time of over-information and exposing the invisible systems behind modern life. Pitch me at rosie_swash@wired.com

Everyone tells you that you need a niche to thrive in freelance journalism — Melita Cameron-Wood is here to tell you that's simply not true. Join our brand new expert masterclass this week for a crash course in earning more money without a specialism and, as always, all tickets are just £7.50 to make sure they're as accessible as possible. We'll be talking through how to define yourself without a niche in a saleable way, for example, do you write about unconventional things, intercultural perspectives, and in-between moments? We'll also explain how to identify publications actively looking for your type of content, and reframing a general approach as a strength rather than a weakness. You leave with plenty of practical advice and inspiration. To grab your ticket, just head to the link below — or drop us a message below and we'll DM you the link. You can also get this event free if you sign up for JR Pitch Club, which comes with tonnes more benefits to help you thrive as a freelancer.

Jezebel is looking for a freelance sports columnist who can write with humor, insight, and an edge. Send pitches to submissions@jezebel.com.

I’m looking for narrative feature pitches for Slate Magazine! I joined Slate this January with a mandate to bring in longform, and in the time since, I’ve edited a true crime yarn with a major third-act twist, an investigation into the radicalization of Southern grandmas in a deep-red Alabama, the Lindy West profile heard round the internet, a hilarious, thoughtful report on the rise of penis injections, and more. (These, and more from my brilliant colleagues, here: https://lnkd.in/e_4uKY5B.) These stories are, as you can see, extremely different!! But they have the same baseline: A good Slate feature takes readers on a ride, challenges their assumptions, and needs at least 3000 words to be told right. It's also, crucially, fun. Slate's a good place for an idea that's too voicey to work anywhere else, that's still supported by rigorous reporting. First-person welcome, white-whale ideas encouraged. Pitch me (not in the Linkedin DMs please!) at leah.prinzivalli@slate.com.
