Our writers come from a variety of backgrounds: professional writers, professors, economists, lawyers, and current and former politicians. We hold knowledge, passion and firsthand experience above journalism qualifications and seek all writers who are well versed on the the subject matter and possess the ability to clearly convey their message.
What Kind of Articles Are We Looking For?
Economy In Crisis is an organization working to educate and engage broad constituencies by promoting the ideals of trade policy reform. We work with individuals, businesses, political leaders and other nonprofit networks to spread awareness of our economic condition. EIC is very open-minded regarding article submissions as long as the article pertains to America’s trade policies, globalization, U.S. politics, etc. In general EIC aims to make our readers more aware of the problems plaguing the U.S. and the viable solutions the U.S. needs to implement to reverse or correct our current conditions.
What Makes a Good Economy In Crisis Article?
EIC’s OpEd articles are different from newspaper articles in that our articles have more leeway in expressing individual thoughts and opinions. EIC looks for basic and thorough research to convey the writers stance on the subject matter. The writing style should be appropriate for the material and thoroughly express what the writer wants the reader to take away from the piece. Every article should leave the reader with a new insight or perspective on a given topic, as we do not run articles just to provide content. Articles featured on EIC need to be both relevant and thought provoking. Rather than asking the fundamental journalism questions of who, what, where, when, why and how, the most important question EIC readers look to address is “What does this mean for the U.S.?”
