Helen Pidd's coverage spans crime, court system, and government & politics. She extensively covers evolving stories, breaking news, and government announcements. Based on her articles' titles and themes covered, Helen would likely be interested in pitches related to ongoing criminal cases, legal reforms or developments in the UK's justice system.
Given her focus on teenage crime and murder trials alongside government & politics topics, she may be receptive to expert commentary from legal professionals specializing in juvenile law or those involved with policy-making related to criminal justice reform. Additionally, sources who can provide insight into high-profile court cases or offer analysis of governmental decisions impacting the justice system could also resonate well with her coverage interests.
Considering that Helen focuses primarily on national (UK) content without a specific geographic emphasis within the country specified suggest that relevant pitches should tie into UK-specific issues or have implications for the broader British society.
