Jon Brodkin's coverage primarily revolves around legal and regulatory aspects within the technology industry, with a particular focus on high-profile figures such as Elon Musk and companies like SpaceX. He also delves into government announcements related to technology.
Given this focus, pitches should provide insights from legal or regulatory experts in the technology sector, specifically those who can offer unique perspectives on cases involving prominent tech personalities or major corporations. As Jon's geographic focus is national (United States), sources with expertise in US laws and regulations would be particularly relevant for his coverage.
Additionally, considering his interest in privacy & cybersecurity topics along with false advertising issues, offering expert commentary or analysis related to these areas could also pique his interest.
