Iris Samuels predominantly covers local political and legal matters in Alaska, with a focus on government announcements and legal policy regulations. Given her coverage of specific lawsuits, political events, and legislative developments, she would likely value pitches from experts who have direct knowledge or insights into the intricacies of Alaska's legal and political landscape.
As Iris focuses primarily on local politics within Alaska, sources with expertise in state-level policies, political analysis specific to Alaskan issues such as minimum wage laws or energy policies would be particularly relevant for outreach. Additionally, those familiar with key figures in Alaskan politics may also find success when reaching out to her.
Given that Iris' reporting is focused on Anchorage and wider Alaskan politics rather than national issues exclusively related to the United States as a whole, it's important for potential sources to tailor their pitches accordingly.
