Pitching Insights

Kevin Baskins predominantly covers local news in Iowa, with a focus on government and politics, human resources & employment, and business & industry. Given his coverage of school shootings as well as unemployment rates and workforce training initiatives in Iowa, he is likely to be most responsive to pitches related to local economic developments, legislative changes affecting businesses or workers, or insights into community responses to tragic events.

When reaching out to Kevin Baskins with story ideas, consider providing perspectives from key local figures such as politicians, community leaders or experts in fields related to the topics he covers. Additionally, offering unique data-driven insights about Iowa's economy or specific industries within the state could capture his attention.

Since Kevin’s work primarily centers around Des Moines and the surrounding areas in Iowa but also occasionally includes national stories relevant at a local level for Iowans (e.g., basketball destination project), it would be beneficial for sources pitching him to have relevance specifically tied to these locations.
