Write for us
Perspectives is the one part of the site where opinion belongs. Here we publish argued pieces from people who work in or with the Nordic defence sector: industry, agencies, research, units and politics.
We look for 600–900 words with a clear thesis, your own argument and sourced facts. The writer's role, employer and any interest in the matter are always stated under the text, and Perspectives are marked as opinion, separate from the newsroom.
Send a draft or a short pitch to info@nordicdefencesector.com with Perspectives in the subject line. We always reply, including when we decline.
