Pitches should provide insights into local educational policies and their impact on students or delve into political and societal aspects within the Berkeley community.
Given Ally's focus on citing data and providing behind-the-scenes insight into local stories, she may be interested in pitches that offer unique perspectives from individuals directly affected by the issues covered - such as teachers, students, parents or community activists.
Pitches should align with Ally’s geographic focus of Berkeley specifically as well as California generally to ensure relevance to her audience.
