Courtney Kube's coverage largely revolves around evolving government and political stories, particularly those related to world affairs. She focuses extensively on breaking news and government announcements, especially concerning defense secretaries and military relations in the Middle East, U.S.-China relations, Taiwan-China relations, and the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Given this focus, pitches should emphasize insights from authoritative figures with direct knowledge of governmental decision-making processes or those closely involved in international diplomatic efforts. Sources offering real-time analysis during rapidly evolving situations could be particularly valuable for her coverage.
As Courtney's articles often cover highly sensitive issues involving global politics and defense matters such as U.S.-China military relations or Middle Eastern conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war, sources must provide fact-based perspectives considering potential geopolitical implications.
