Edulection is a collaborative effort. Politics affects every issue around and, while some are more pressing than others, they are all important. What is important to someone in a city might not be important to someone on a farm and vice versa so we are looking for a wide range of contributors to take part in our project.
If you want to write for us there are a couple of things you need to know:
- Edulection retains the right to edit your work. We need to make sure you’re communicating clearly to the audience.
- Every article must look equally at the policies of at least the top seven parties in the 2005 general election (Labour, National, New Zealand First, Green, Maori, United Future and ACT)
- You must cite sources. We encourage using the websites of these parties as the best place to gather information as well as media websites such as NZHerald or stuff.co.nz.
We recommend you check your topic hasn’t been taken yet, just send us a quick email with a topic. When thinking about what to write, please keep the following in mind:
- If it’s a particularly large topic we’ll ask you to focus it into a specific issue. Just looking at one party’s policies on “social issues” or “the environment” is a giant task! Simplify it some and instead look at “the unemployment benefit” or “waste water”.
- Write about something you’re interested in – every person has at least one thing – youth issues, health, employment, education, law and order, public services, the economy… the list is literally endless. When you email us, tell us why you want to write this article and what makes you care about the rest of New Zealand caring about it too.
- You can write in any style you see fit however we are looking especially for people who can take the often-boring world of politics and policies and make it fun and easy to understand. Play with it.
