The Juvenile Justice Information Exchange and our affiliate site Youth Today seek a diversity of experienced and emerging writers of straight-ahead journalism — including those with lived experience in the areas we cover — who adhere to the facts, fairness, AP Style and other best practices and standards of our craft. Occasionally, we will consider publishing timely, topical first-person essays that are rigorously reported with multiple sources. We do not currently contract writers outside the United States or cover international juvenile justice issues, except as they intersect with domestic issues.
JJIE and Youth Today also publish guest opinion essays.
