David Folkenflik's coverage predominantly focuses on news and politics, particularly within the United States. He has a specific interest in media-related topics such as news outlets, journalism, and media ethics. Given this focus, pitches should offer insights or commentary related to evolving stories in the media industry, government announcements affecting news organizations or journalists, or legal and regulatory developments impacting journalism.
Folkenflik also covers sports-related stories occasionally but with less frequency compared to his focus on journalism and politics. Therefore, submissions relating to significant events or controversies within sports coverage may be of interest if they tie into broader political or ethical issues.
As his geographic focus is national (United States), contributors should ensure that their input is relevant specifically to US-based developments within the realms of media ethics or policies affecting journalistic practices.
