High Country News, a magazine and website about the American West, "is looking for new print and multimedia story
ideas and voices," Managing Editor Jodi Peterson writes.
"We're especially interested in stories related to public lands, natural resources and the environment. We also welcome West-specific stories about people, politics, economics, culture and aesthetic values. Politics in particular will be a special area of focus as we head up to the election, as will stories on the West's economy," Peterson writes. "Because we have a long publishing cycle and an 11-state region to cover in a small news space, we want local stories that have significance across the entire region and that are told in ways that go beyond what daily newspapers report. We are committed to deep reporting, thorough investigations and insightful analysis."

The magazine seeks inquiries from "experienced journalists," Peterson writes. "Our ideal stories are timely
and news-driven, and include strong storytelling, compelling characters, a
clear, jargon-free style, and a dedication to intellectual honesty. We want
writers who can view topics with a critical eye and dig deeply into issues. We
also would like our writers to be as diverse as the region they cover, and
encourage Native American, Hispanic, and other under-represented journalists to
send us queries. In
particular, we are looking for short proposals for our 'Currents' department in the front of the magazine."
