Not enough data
Gareth Vaughan's coverage mainly revolves around the finance and economy sector, with a focus on government announcements, data citation, and press releases. He appears to be interested in insights related to economics, central bank policies, mortgage market trends, financial stability issues, and the banking industry.
Given his extensive use of government announcements and cited data sources in his articles, he may be receptive to pitches that provide expert commentary or analysis on official economic indicators like inflation rates or GDP growth. Additionally, offering perspectives from economists or industry insiders regarding banking regulations or mortgage market dynamics could also capture his interest.
As Gareth doesn't have a specified geographic focus but covers international topics such as anti-money laundering warnings for banks operating in New Zealand. Therefore,pitches should consider providing broader insights into global economic trends while keeping local relevance where applicable.
