2. CPR Pitch Deadline for March Issue

Date: TONIGHT, 01/22
Time: Midnight

The deadline to pitch an article for the March issue of the CPR is this
Sunday (January 22nd) at midnight. Each pitch should include a summary
of the issue you want to cover as well as some possible arguments and
conclusions you would make. Keep in mind that you are trying to
convince the editors why your article should be selected. Feel free to
not only describe the facts and circumstances, but also to explain why
the issue is important and deserves coverage. Also, remember that the
issue will not be published until early March. You may want to make the
case for why your article will still be relevant in a month and a half.
To pitch, return the attached form to cpureview@columbia.edu. The pitch
form can also be downloaded at www.cupolitics.org/cpr/.

If you would like to have an editor review your ideas, simply indicate
that in you're pitch. We'll do our best to get to all of them. The
earlier you get your pitches to us though, the more likely it is that
we'll be able to give you meaningful comments.
