Every line into the Journal, open.
Have something for the Journal?
pitch@straitjournal.comSend us a short paragraph about the story, why it's a Journal story, and a line or two about you. Two or three sentences. No attachments on the first email.
We want: reported features, profiles, scene essays, investigations, short criticism. We don't want: PR rewrites, personal essays without reporting, things that happened everywhere and happen to also have happened in Detroit.
Response time: within two weeks. If you haven't heard back in three, write again — it happens. See also careers for open commissions.
Press, comment, partnerships.
press@straitjournal.comFor press releases, advance review copies, comment requests, and event listings. We read everything. We publish very little of it verbatim.
We do not accept sponsored posts, affiliate links, or paid partnerships. We will tell you no. We will tell you quickly.
Please do not cold-call our writers on social. Use this address.
