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.

We're still deleting ourselves out of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday email hell, so let's keep today fun and take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Have you ever had one of those career moments that you know will make a great story someday... but in the moment, you’re just trying not to fall over? Yeah. That was me at the Versace Mansion auction. Back when I was a reporter for NBC in Miami, I sometimes worked as a one-man band. That meant shooting, writing, and editing all my own stuff....
Let me take you back to the moment I truly understood the phrase: “You dodged a bullet.” Picture this: Monroe, Louisiana. (No offense, but the city… if you want to call it that, did NOT impress me. But as a TV reporter, this is the kinda place you start.) I’m fresh out of college, bright-eyed, and ready for my very first shot as a TV reporter. I show up expecting a normal interview — some small talk, maybe a writing test, a polite handshake or two. Instead... I get ambushed by what can only...

It’s not the creators' fault. Instagram moves fast. Blink and suddenly everything’s changed. And don’t even get me started on the one-size-fits-all thing. Whether you’re a total newbie or already riding the Reels wave, a course that doesn’t meet you where you’re at is a total waste. So what does...
