Caitlin's coverage primarily focuses on politics, with substantial attention to legal policy and government announcements. Given this emphasis, she is likely most interested in receiving pitches related to breaking political news, legislative developments, or analysis of government policies and regulations.
She seems particularly focused on US national politics and Congress-related topics. Therefore, experts who can provide insights into these areas would be more likely to catch her attention.
While Caitlin does not exclusively cover fashion and technology, she has published articles about them. Therefore, if you have a unique angle related to the intersection of these topics with politics or legal policy/regulation in the US context, it might pique her interest as well.
