Pitch Your Living Traditions Stories

Do you have experience with audio/video storytelling or cultural documentation? The Center for Rural Strategies is seeking pitches for its Living Traditions project, an initiative that shares stories about contemporary folklife in central Appalachia.

We’re accepting pitches for short-form videos, audio stories, and written articles about current-day cultural practices related to music, dance, storytelling, foodways and craft, from within Appalachian counties in Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

All stories will be published on The Daily Yonder, the Center for Rural Strategies’ rural-focused news outlet.

Seasoned and aspiring reporters alike are encouraged to submit. Pay varies depending on the form of media and level of experience.

Interested in learning more or have an idea for a story? Reach out to Living Traditions Project Director, Nicole Musgrave, at nicole@ruralstrategies.org by March 31st.
