How to Pitch and Submit to TCMP
The Circle Media Plus (TCMP) publishes independent journalism and original storytelling rooted in accuracy, public interest, and lived experience. We work with journalists, analysts, researchers, and community contributors who share a commitment to ethical reporting and editorial rigour.
We do not accept sponsored articles, branded content, SEO-driven submissions, press releases, or AI-generated material. All submissions must be original, human-written work that reflects clear insight, verified information, and responsible journalism.
Before submitting a full article, contributors are required to contact the editorial team with a brief pitch. This helps clarify focus, avoid duplication, and ensure alignment with TCMP’s editorial priorities.

EDITORIAL PROCESS:
All submissions undergo editorial review for clarity, accuracy, relevance, and legal risk. Editors may work collaboratively with contributors to refine structure, language, and sourcing while preserving the author’s voice.
Final editorial decisions, including headlines, introductions, subheadings, and placement, are made by the Editor-in-Chief.
