Herb Weisbaum's coverage is primarily focused on personal finance and consumer protection, with a significant portion devoted to "how-to" guides and government announcements. This indicates that he may be responsive to pitches offering practical advice for consumers related to personal finance or insights into new regulations impacting consumers.
Given the emphasis on "how-to" guides, providing clear and actionable tips for consumers would likely resonate well with Herb. Pitches should also consider focusing on topics such as online scams, cybersecurity, technology in relation to personal finance management.
