Not enough data
Donna Lu's coverage heavily emphasizes scientific and environmental topics, particularly those supported by data and government announcements. She focuses on issues related to healthcare, science, environment, Australian culture, and research.
Given her reliance on data and government sources for much of her reporting, she would likely be receptive to pitches supported by strong empirical evidence or tied to significant government policy developments in the areas she covers.
