Who this is for
If any of these describe you, apply. The pitch matters more than the follower count; a strong local angle from a small outlet beats a copy-paste post from a big one.
Journalists & editors
Staff writers, freelancers, and editors at newspapers, magazines, city guides, culture publications, and food and travel outlets.
Photographers & videographers
Editorial, documentary, and event photographers or video crews shooting on assignment for an outlet or portfolio.
Broadcast · TV · radio · podcast
Producers, presenters, and crews from TV, radio, or podcast networks planning a segment, feature, or episode.
Influencers & content creators
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack, or newsletter creators covering Berlin, culture, Indian and South Asian communities, food, music, family, or lifestyle. 5,000+ engaged followers preferred.
Community & culture media
Indian and South Asian community publications, diaspora newsletters, embassies, and cultural institutes covering diaspora life in Germany.
Student & campus press
University newspapers, magazines, and radio stations. The pitch matters more than the reach.
