I'm looking for some help finding a career path into writing media criticism/analysis articles.
Is there a way I can submit articles I write to be published somewhere? Or is that not a thing anymore? I know in the days of yore people could submit articles to magazines and newspapers to have them published but no doubt that knowledge is seriously out of touch.
Since I am genuinely hoping this ask "breaches containment", about me: I'm a queer creative and one of my more recent side-gigs / hobbies has been to write media analysis articles on different pop culture elements usually with a heavy emotional connection. I have two articles in the works, One about "I'm on observation duty" and "Human shaped", one asserting that Weiss Schnee from RWBY is a trans woman and the canon proves it. The one that is out now is about how Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works saved my life. I like drawing on that creative lenses and media analyses to give a relatively interesting viewpoint to something that many others might have passed by. If you wanna read the article I have out now: https://queenofsquiggles.codeberg.page/personal-essay/fate-stay-night-saved-my-life/
Also like is there a better term for all this I can/should use? Does this count as journalism? Even if my articles are largely opinion pieces? (Is "Op-Ed" something???)
