The purpose is to share the human-level, personal experience of working in the field on our platform, which is capable of reaching a broad and diverse audience.
These stories can be as short as 300 words or up to a 1,000 but should be as short, colorful and specific as possible. The writer can expect publication of several dispatches in a series with prior approval.
