Compelling Healthcare Investigative Journalism Piece - 10/09/2025 04:42 EDT
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need a richly reported, magazine-style investigation that exposes an important issue inside the healthcare sector. The tone must be unmistakably investigative: a sharp lede, transparent sourcing, careful fact-checking, and a narrative thread that keeps readers turning pages.
We will agree on the precise angle—whether that’s opaque billing practices, disparities in access, or safety concerns around new treatments—but every claim must rest on original evidence. Expect to dig into public filings, academic studies, and regulatory data, then corroborate what you find with on-the-record interviews. If patient stories or expert commentary illuminate the facts, weave them in; clear, verifiable data should anchor the piece.
Deliverables
• 2,000–3,000-word article in Google Docs with live source links
• Separate source bundle (notes, transcripts, datasets) for verification
• 150-word pitch memo for sign-off before drafting begins
Acceptance criteria: all assertions traceable to primary or independently confirmed sources, at least three named expert or stakeholder quotes, and a compelling narrative arc that closes with clear implications for readers.
