Aftermath is Looking for Pitches
Aftermath is a worker-owned site focused on video games and internet culture.

We like stories that are focused on people rather than products, whether that’s developers and game workers, players, online and fan communities, or journalists. We’re especially interested in investigative or reported stories and stories that include the voices of players, workers, and community members. Games journalism has less and less room for investigative reporting these days, and we’re happy to carry that mantle as much as we can within our means. We’re also interested in essays that connect games, technology, and the internet to politics, current events, cultural trends, and other areas. We’re open to experimental formats that tell stories in ways beyond text.” Rates are $300 for shorter pieces, and $500 for pieces involving more in-depth reporting and analysis.
