Contribute to Black Wall Street Media
Black Wall Street media is a global platform founded to bring the latest news across the diaspora. In order to create and promote and build community, we feature stories by and about Black people of the African Diaspora. This definition is globally inclusive and also applies to mixed and Afro-appended people regardless of gender identity or orientation.
We see Black Wall Street Media as the ultimate modern hub for the diaspora. Outside of our online our content, we utilise our reach as a platform for creative energies to build and maintain a vibrant community and create opportunities to showcase the wealth of talent across all sectors of the community. However, our editorial content is the heart and soul of this media company. With our platform being created for and powered the diaspora, we are seeking stories that the mainstream media doesn’t share and angles that are on-time and relevant.
In terms of the type of pieces we want to publish, we publish articles that go deep, make an impact, seek change or awareness, or explore unreported angles and underrepresented communities. We want pieces that go the extra mile to represent Black excellence.
Guidelines:
- 800-1,000 words long
- Well written: Your piece must be fully proofread and print-ready with attention paid to punctuation, spelling, and tone.
- On-time and relevant: As the home of breaking news, it’s vital that your piece is timely, relevant, and representative of Black Wall Street Media’s ethos.
- Unique and evidenced: All pieces are checked for plagiarism and any facts or statistics should be double-checked before submission. Please include footnotes to secondary sources.
