Write for us - Mekong Eye
We are now seeking story pitches from journalists based in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand or Vietnam.  While we are open to all environmental topics, we are prioritizing the following themes in 2024.
Viable solutions and actions taken by community groups, scientists and the private and public sectors to address environmental challenges and climate change.
We welcome stories in English, Thai or Vietnamese. We would like to eventually receive stories in all Mekong languages, but currently, we are limited to these three languages due to our own limitations. No matter what language your story will be in, we ask that you provide story pitches in English.
The pitch should provide a short description of the story, explain why this story is new or how it will bring a new angle to existing coverage of the topic, why it is important and why now to report this story and how it may generate an impact and benefit the public or target audiences.
It should also identify the main sources for the story, including potential interviewees, data and relevant research. We strongly encourage journalists to consider gender equality and social inclusion in the reporting, and include interviews with women and representatives of marginalized groups, such as poor people, indigenous people, ethnic minorities and youth.
We ask that you also provide information about the photographs, data visualizations, multimedia or illustrations that would be used in the story.
