Not enough data
Hunter Bassler’s coverage leans heavily toward NASA and spaceflight, especially mission milestones, launch watch guides, and safety concerns around crewed lunar travel. He also covers U.S. national-security developments, including cyber threats and military action, plus occasional political headlines.
He is likely most responsive to pitches with timely, concrete developments, strong visual or public-interest angles, or access to credible voices tied directly to a live mission, security alert, or high-stakes government decision. He also appears open to straightforward explainers when a story has a clear practical impact for readers.
Since his reporting is national in scope, keep pitches centered on U.S.-relevant developments.
