Freelancer & Opinion Writer Interest Meeting

The Black Wall Street Times is inviting new voices to join our contributor network. Whether you’re an experienced journalist or a passionate community storyteller, this informational meeting will walk you through how to pitch articles, submit op-eds, secure assignments, and get your work published on one of the nation’s fastest-growing Black media platforms. 

During this session, participants will:

  • Learn BWST’s editorial standards, style expectations, and compensation structure
  • Review priority content areas (news, civic engagement, education, health, culture, arts, LGBTQ+, opinion, and more)
  • Understand pitching and submission processes
  • Hear what kinds of stories editors are actively seeking
  • Get clarity on deadlines, rights, and payment for accepted pieces
  • Ask questions directly to the editorial team

We are interested in voices that inform, challenge, uplift, and hold power accountable. If you believe journalism can drive change — this space is for you.
