Not enough data
Daniel Funke's work largely focuses on fact-checking and misinformation in the realms of politics, government announcements, and COVID-19 related topics.

Therefore, he would likely be interested in pitches from experts who can provide accurate information or analysis regarding political statements, government policies, COVID-19-related misinformation, and fact-checking methodologies.
Given his focus on citing data and legal policy regulations as well as breaking news stories within politics and misinformation domains, Daniel may respond well to sources that have direct access to relevant data or insights into the development of government policies or breaking news events. These could include academic researchers specializing in these areas or professionals with practical experience in governmental decision-making processes.
