Ezra's coverage predominantly focuses on the food and beverage industry, specifically breweries, craft beer, cider, taprooms, and beer festivals. Given this focus, he is likely to be interested in pitches related to new brewery openings or relocations, special events at breweries or taprooms such as festivals or themed months/weeks.
Since Ezra covers local news primarily around Oregon with a particular emphasis on Bend and Portland within the United States, relevant pitches should have a localized angle tied to these areas. Pitches about businesses outside of this region may not align with his reporting scope.
