BreakOrDie is a global ecosystem for investigative analysis, ethical commerce, and systemic disruption. We don’t just publish content; we scale missions.

The BreakOrDie Standard: Writing & Ethics

Originality & The AI Mandate

We require a minimum of 1,200 words for all investigative articles. AI Policy: We have a zero-tolerance policy for generative AI 'fluff.' Every argument must be intellectually grounded and feel human-centric. We use advanced detection tools to ensure 100% human-authored integrity

Tone, Audience & Evidence

Our readership is global. Avoid country-specific slang or assumptions. Tone must be analytical, fair, and non-partisan. Every claim must be supported by reliable data, reports, or scholarly references.

Citations & Fact-Checking

Use the APA 7th Edition for all citations. Hyperlink your sources directly in the text where possible. We value primary interviews and first-hand research over recycled news.

Visual Assets & Media Standards

We believe a powerful narrative deserves a powerful aesthetic. If you are providing original photography, illustrations, or data visualizations to accompany your submission, they must meet our technical and ethical thresholds.

The Technical Requirements:
Resolution: Minimum 1920px width for web; 300 DPI for potential print features.
Format: We prefer .JPG or .PNG for photos and .SVG or high-res .PDF for charts and data visualizations.
Originality: We prioritize original, high-contrast photography. Avoid generic "stock" photos that feel staged or corporate.

The Lifecycle of a Submission: From Pitch to Publication

Step 1: Preparation. Format your work in .docx or .pdf. Include a 50-word professional bio.

Step 2: Submission. Use our Unified Portal [here]. Avoid emailing drafts directly to ensure they enter our vetting queue.

Step 3: The Vetting Phase. Our Strategic Review Board reviews all pitches within 7–10 business days.

Step 4: Refinement. If accepted, you will work with a BreakOrDie editor to polish the final draft for global release.

The BreakOrDie Standard: Writing & Ethics

Do you offer monetary compensation?

We currently provide full author credit, a dedicated bio, and a global platform to reach high-level disruptors. Strategic partnerships for products or humanitarian projects may involve separate commercial agreements.

Do you accept reprints?

No. We only publish original, exclusive work that has not been featured elsewhere.

Can I pitch an idea before writing the full piece?

Yes. We highly encourage a 'Pitch First' approach via our submission portal to save your time and align with our editorial calendar.

What about sensitive topics and ethics?

We offer 'Protected Attribution' for journalists working in high-risk zones. All reporting must adhere to the highest standards of human dignity and systemic transparency.

Can BreakOrDie provide images for my article?

Yes. If your submission is accepted but lacks visual assets, our creative team will source or create high-authority imagery that aligns with the BreakOrDie 'System Breaker' aesthetic.

Who owns the rights to the photos I submit?

You must either own the copyright to the images or provide written proof of permission from the creator. By submitting them, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use them alongside your work.

Do you accept video or audio submissions?

Absolutely. We encourage multimedia storytelling. If you have a short documentary clip, an interview recording, or a product demonstration, please include the link in your initial pitch.

Rights, Attribution & Intellectual Integrity

By submitting to BreakOrDie, you retain your copyright. You grant us a non-exclusive right to distribute your work across our digital and print platforms. We honor the 'System Breaker' spirit—your work remains yours; the impact belongs to the world.

The System Breaker’s Final Audit

Before you initiate your proposal, ensure your submission meets the following criteria:

Human-Centric Authenticity: Is the content 100% human-authored with 0% AI-generated fluff?

Structural Depth: Does the article meet the 1,200-word minimum and include 3+ credible sources?

Global Resonance: Have you removed country-specific slang to ensure the message is clear to an international audience?

Visual Integrity: Are all attached media files high-resolution (300 DPI) and legally cleared for use?

The Disruption Factor: Does your summary clearly explain which "broken system" your idea intends to fix?
