Sidelines

The dot outside the bubble.

Write from the sidelines

Seeing a story the main stage ignores? Don't wait for someone else to tell it. Sidelines doesn't publish stories itself, but here's how to get yours written, edited and read.

Write for Global Voices

Global Voices is a nonprofit, mostly volunteer community of writers and translators. Its volunteer writers report on conversations in their own regions, with an emphasis on voices missing from international mainstream media. Every story is checked by its editors, and stories can be translated into dozens of languages. If they publish your story, it can show up right here on Sidelines.

Pitch a local or independent newsroom

Community papers and independent outlets want tips. Look at the Sources page for outlets near you.
