Join Orato Media’s Growing Global Freelance Network

At a time when media outlets around the world are taking hit after hit, we have some good news – Orato First-Person News is expanding our global network of top-notch freelance journalists.

Our goal is to give our readers a window into the experience of living through major news events, wherever in the world they are taking place. We have spent years honing a unique approach to news and storywriting that follows the strictest standards of traditional journalism, while freeing up our correspondents to put the focus squarely on first-person accounts.

Our text or multimedia contributors are expected to identify and deliver breaking stories based on eyewitness interviews – with survivors, heroes, whistleblowers, the oppressed, and disadvantaged.

We offer highly competitive freelance rates that reward experience, and offer additional incentives to provide the exclusivity, multimedia assets, and immediacy that can make a story great. Our goal is to develop long-term relationships with journalists around the world.

Check out the nearly 3,000 stories we’ve already published at Orato.World that put the human, lived experience at the center of global news events. Now you have the opportunity to contribute as well!

Please follow our links on how to Become a Contributor and our running list of Potential Interview Subjects , which identifies people whose stories we currently are interested in seeing published.

For more information, please write to us directly at enquiries@orato.world .

We look forward to hearing from you!
