I’ll be in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo from July 28 to Aug. 7. I have several story ideas but won’t really know what to write about until I’m on the ground there. If you’re an editor looking to be pitched or to fill an assignment in Kinshasa or Brazzaville, please get in touch.

All of my expenses in Congo are covered so the reporting will be inexpensive.

I have a full range of equipment including DSLRs and HD video and audio recorders.

I depart for Brussels on Thursday, July 26, and can be reached at 845.381.9121 or danielffitzsimmons@gmail.com. I can be reached via text while in Congo at 518.867.9490 and via email at the address above.

Most of my work can be found on my website, www.danielfitzsimmons.com.

I’m a journalist currently working for Straus News in New York (www.strausnews.com).

Thanks for reading,

DF
