NiemanLab: Facing a “deluge” from AI, this publication will only take pitches by phone. “Whether you’re a reporter or an editor, your inbox has probably seen an influx of pitches, increasingly written with artificial intelligence. They’re likely bad, irrelevant, and annoyingly clogging up your email. But one publication is over it. If you want to write for The Food Section, you’ll […]
