NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute

Livewire Exclusives is a clearinghouse for finished stories and pitches from recent master's graduates of New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, available to editors on an exclusive basis. Editors should communicate and negotiate directly with the writers. When a writer advises us of an assignment or placement, we'll remove the listing. The writers also request a three-day turnaround on any offered query or story.

Free Subscriptions

Editors may request our biweekly story budget, at livewire@journalism.nyu.edu
