Are you having a tough time finding news to report?
Try a spokesperson pitch instead.
It could go something like this:
"Hey XYZ,
I'm reaching out because I'm a regular reader of your articles in XYZ about XYZ topic.
I'm an expert in XYZ who could be a valuable resource for your future stories.
Below, you'll find my bio and a list of topics I’m well-versed in.
📝 Your short bio
📍 A brief list of relevant, hyper-specific topics
📞 Contact information to get in touch
Thanks,
Christina"
Including that quick list of *specific* topics is important because so many journalists use the search bar in their emails to search for sources.
You want YOUR source to stand out when they're looking for specific keywords.
Think of it like email SEO.
You might not land an interview right away, but writers often circle back for future stories weeks, months, and even years down the road.

Weird messages are pretty normal when you’re a TV reporter and anchor. You cover enough crime scenes, city council fights, and breaking news, and eventually someone emails you something unhinged. It comes with the territory. But these were different because they all came at once... and they were all from teenage girls. Back when I was a TV reporter, I got sent to cover Justin Bieber’s arrest in Miami Beach. He was arrested for drag racing. Got a mugshot. It was breaking news. Absolute chaos...
