The Daily Star seeks freelancers
(received the following today)
Dear Debbie Ridpath Ohi:
I introduce myself as the business editor of The Daily Star, the Beirut-based regional newspaper of the Middle East. The Star is published daily in cooperation with the International Herald Tribune in Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Doha and Kuwait. We expect to add more cities in the coming months in order to expand the IHT/Star circulation dramatically.
The Star is launching a business section that will focus on the Middle East and North Africa. It will contain profiles of individuals and institutions, analyses of company affairs, features, commentaries and interviews. The idea is to examine how money is made and managed from Morocco to Iran.
I would very much like to invite freelancers to write for the new business section. I’m looking for stories of between 700 words and 1,200 words. Payment will vary.
I would also welcome the names and e-mail contacts of writers you might already know across the Middle East and Africa who could be persuaded to contribute to the Daily Star.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Pranay Gupte
Business Editor
