Not enough data
Justin Lahart's coverage indicates a strong emphasis on finance and the economy, with particular attention to data-driven insights and investment analysis. He focuses on topics such as inflation, consumer spending, the job market, and the Federal Reserve.
Given his focus on citing data and providing investment analysis, he would likely be interested in pitches that provide access to exclusive or hard-to-find data related to economic trends or financial indicators. Additionally, experts who can offer unique perspectives on how these factors impact the broader economy could also capture his interest.
