Abigail's coverage primarily focuses on local government and legal policy regulations in Ohio, with specific attention to county news, law enforcement, technology, and transportation. She seems particularly interested in reporting on government announcements and policies that directly impact communities within the state.
Given Abigail's focus on local issues such as zoning codes, public transportation updates, and community policing efforts, she would likely be most receptive to pitches from sources who have firsthand knowledge or are directly affected by these developments.
