Derrel's coverage indicates a strong focus on local sports and entertainment news, with an emphasis on basketball, boxing, Broadway, skincare products designed for people of color, and music. Given this focus, pitching stories related to local New York City events in these areas or providing expert commentary from individuals connected to the city’s sports teams or entertainment industry could be particularly effective.

As Derrel appears to cover both sports and entertainment news extensively but with a clear preference for local content related to New York City and surrounding areas. Therefore, focusing pitches around local events or personalities would likely be more successful than broader national topics.
