Policy Today

Policy Today is inviting contributions to its website. The subject matter should fall into one of the areas covered by PT: Politics, The Economy, Law, Society, California, and Foreign Policy. The article can have a point-of-view, but should be reported, i.e., contain quotes or material from credible third-party sources. This should NOT be a blog.

Story length should be 600-800 words and include a 1-2 sentence subhead below the title. Subtitles within the text are encouraged. Please also attach 1-2 graphics/pictures that you feel are appropriate for the story: they can be pictures of those quoted, a relevant design/landscape, or a graphic that draws out the story. We may ask you to make corrections or more closely look at story lines within your submission.

Please send your story idea + 3-4 sentences describing what you intend to write about in the Form below. Mentioning potential sources is also helpful. Once we've reviewed and OK'd your idea, please do not send the completed word files or graphic attachments. Paste the story itself and attach pictures to the Form below.

For those stories accepted for publication, we will ask you to sign a waiver assigning a (non-exclusive) copyright to PT as well as warranting that the story is original and non-infringing. And, we will pay you $150 upon publication of your piece.
