First Check is open for pitches!
If you have a story with a strong news peg, unique insight and access, we want to hear from you.
We’re inviting freelancers to pitch original, data-driven, evidence-based health stories that break new ground, uncover emerging trends, or challenge widely held assumptions in medicine and public health. We’re looking for ideas with strong news value, sharp angles, and clear public relevance.
Please write to pitches@firstcheck.in with “Pitches – [Title of Your Pitch]” in the subject line.
In the body of the email, introduce yourself and include a brief pitch (no more than 300 words) explaining why the story matters and how you plan to report it. Add a tentative title, access details, expected deadline, and projected word count.
We welcome reported stories, interviews or profiles of prominent figures, and reported analyses of current health news.
All selected and commissioned stories will be paid.
