Joey's coverage primarily focuses on local government and politics, with additional attention to family & relationships, and education. His work often includes reporting on government announcements and legal policy regulations related to San Diego. Pitches for interviews or expert commentary should focus on local political developments, housing issues in the area, educational reforms, or community-related topics.
Given Joey’s geographic focus on Omaha and Nebraska as a whole (as well as national affairs), he may also be interested in stories that illustrate how these broader topics impact his local area specifically. For example, trends in public service commission decisions or gun violence prevention efforts could be of interest if they have direct relevance to Omaha or Nebraska.
When reaching out to him about antisemitism concerns or other sensitive topics like the Holocaust and war-related matters such as Ukraine conflict coverage requires a nuanced approach given their potentially distressing nature.
