Wired

Wired is a prominent magazine that does print media (10 issues a year) and an online version. One of the exciting things about Wired is that they have realized the importance of the digital magazine and now pay based on the work submitted, not the medium they choose to publish it in. This is great news because most publications have not moved on to this type of thinking yet. In fact, some publications will only pay if it makes it to the printed version.

Wired publishes all types of content related to technology and culture, including AI, Covid-19, culture, games, gear, science, ideas, business, security, and climate. They do not accept unsolicited manuscripts; you will need to pitch your idea to them. However, their guidelines page has information on that, including the pitch length they expect to receive.
