Jen Kirby’s articles primarily focus on government and politics, particularly world affairs. She often covers evolving stories related to global political events, with a notable emphasis on the Ukraine conflict, US-China relations, Poland's democracy, Israel-Hamas deal, and Russia's war in Ukraine.
Given her extensive coverage of evolving political stories and government announcements internationally, Jen may be receptive to pitches featuring expert analysis or firsthand accounts from individuals directly impacted by these geopolitical events. For example: scholars specializing in Eastern European politics for insights into the Ukraine conflict; diplomats familiar with US-China relations; experts on Middle East politics for perspectives on Israel-Hamas issues.
It would also be beneficial to provide well-researched data and legal policy regulations relevant to the topics she frequently covers when reaching out with potential story ideas or sources for commentary.

Kamala Harris prepped for Tuesday’s first presidential debate with Donald Trump by participating in mock debates, practicing with a Trump stand-in and using a lit stage to mimic the actual setting.

In about a week, more than 1.3 million North Carolinians statewide have mailed in their ballots or voted early in-person.
