Opportunities

FTP Contributors

Currently we are accepting applications from outside multimedia journalists who report on policing in different areas of the globe. Police violence is a GLOBAL issue, and we want for our readers to be informed in their own regions, as well as being able to understand what is happening nationally and internationally. We are looking for contributing journalists, photographers and filmmakers. If you are reporting on policing issues and you'd like to work with us and publish on FTP, email us your portfolio including writing samples, photo samples and reel samples. *We are not currently accepting applications at this time.
