The DateKeepers is an international media platform committed to promoting storytelling with nuance and integrity, supporting aspiring journalists and emerging nonfiction writers, countering both negativity bias in the media and toxic positivity bias in the broader culture, and elevating hard-working, humble, and under-appreciated pioneers across domains. Whether you're an artist, an artisan, a farmer, an inventor, a coder, a traveler, a home chef, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who's had to make an art of navigating life's chaotic twists and turns, we hope to hear from you and share your story with the world. 

​

We publish profiles, essays, op-eds and commentaries, research-based articles, investigative reporting, and more. Interested in writing for The DateKeepers? Pitch a story or submit a piece for consideration here.
