Not enough data
Erik Bascome's local focus on Staten Island and New York City suggests a keen interest in news related to government policies, real estate trends, transportation issues, and weather events. His coverage heavily features government announcements and data citations.
Given the prevalence of local government-related topics in his articles, Erik would likely be responsive to pitches from experts or stakeholders with insights into local policy changes impacting Staten Island or NYC. Additionally, he may also be interested in data-driven stories about real estate trends specific to these areas.
Pitches referencing broader national issues or those outside of the specified geographic focus are less likely to align with Erik's reporting priorities.
