Current’s primary audience is made up of people who work at public radio and television stations, networks and production companies.

Our readers typically expect more details and context in coverage of public media than what other publications usually provide. They also expect reporting that takes them behind the scenes to explore developments that affect their work and helps them understand the thinking behind decisions that shape programs, policies and special initiatives.  

We aim to provide public media professionals with valuable insights and information that helps them and their institutions reach new levels of success.

We generally pay 75 cents/word for freelance assignments, though rates may vary for certain article formats such as Q&As. Submit your pitch to pitch@current.org.
