First Person, Vox's new section devoted to narrative essays, explained

Vox's mission is to explain this news. Through our card stack on ISIS and student debt and vaccines we are publishing our map with our Middle East, immigration control and food with health management and Jurassic world and space exploration through our video stack .

About a year after our launch, we have gradually realized the power of personal tales in advancing our mission. A retired secret service representative can clarify authority issues in a way that news articles may be overlooked. A woman with anxiety can explain her experience in a statistically hidden best way. Ferguson protesters and former police officers imprisoned can expose police officers that journalists can never see - state of community relations

With this in mind, we will use some of Vox.com for a thoughtful, deep, provocative personal story to explain the most important topics in modern life Did. We call it the first person

We hope that you will write a letter to us. If you have a good story to explain to explain the important problem, please send an e-mail to firstperson@vox.com. We are looking for broad prospects for writers of all ages, gender, race, sexual orientation and political trends. Also, it's nice to be able to accept works of unpublished writers on this - or, in this respect, they may have some important stories to say, but turn them into pieces I need help for it;

a) what you want to write, b) you have qualified to write articles on this topic, c) write a paragraph or two paragraphs that explain the basic things you want to incorporate in your work

If you have the will, we will also see the completed draft. If your work is approved, please remember that we will pass the editing process which may involve a major modification, reorganization and / or shrinking of the original draft.

Here are some of the work from the past few months to introduce the styles and ranges we are planning to do with Vox First Person:

So far, we have been successful with the following topics: child rearing, interpersonal relationship, money, identity, mental health, and work / workplace problems. However, we are constantly looking for new themes, so if you have tones that do not belong to these categories, please do not send them.

In 2015, we worked hard at Vox and explained the biggest news articles of the year with charts, maps, videos and a lot of interpreters. In our first person section we ask for help with readers, our friends and our most reliable experts, and seek your insights and personal experiences. Here are the nine most memorable first-person articles we have started since 2015. Many Americans believe that police are usually good and noble heroes. Last year's Gallup poll asked Americans to evaluate the integrity and ethical standards of people in all fields: the police ranked the top five next to the priests. Professional - diligent - is a nobleman. But this myth about the police 's generic good covers the truth about what the repair system needs to do. It seems to us that it is necessary for us to adopt talented personnel rather than modifying the whole system. Institutional racial discrimination in our criminal justice system

On Thursday evening, Vox 's First Person Editor - in - Chief Emmett Rensin sent a series of tweets, urging people to cause a riot when Donald Trump came to their town. We Vox never takes an institutional stand for most problems, and we encourage our writers to discuss and object. However, directly encouraging disagreements between opinion and direct encouragement of dangerous illegal activities to riots. We welcome various opinions, but we do not tolerate sentences that may endanger others. In this case Emmett's tweet violated the Vox standard, Emmett was interrupted.
