Call for Paid Columnist: Information Today magazine’s EDI/DEI column

Call for Paid Columnist: Information Today magazine’s EDI/DEI column

Information Today newsmagazine (https://www.infotoday.com/it/default.asp) is looking for a library professional to write the EDI Perspectives column starting in November 2022. It centers on issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI/DEI) in the information field, primarily taking the form of interviews with info pros in the EDI space—but a new columnist is welcome to put their own spin on it.

See http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/Spotlight/EDI-Perspectives-Part-1-147762.asp for examples of previous columns.

The magazine publishes 9 issues per year (9 columns required per year). Each column should be about 800 words, with flexibility as needed. Payments will be issued to the columnist by mail. Columnists are responsible for choosing the theme of each column and submitting it by the deadline provided by the editor.

Email editor Brandi Scardilli (bscardilli@infotoday.com) if interested. She can provide you with a sample issue of the magazine and the standard contract.
