Lesley Goldberg's coverage focuses on entertainment news, specifically television shows, renewals and cancellations, networks, creators, producers, actors, and actresses. She frequently includes press releases and private sector announcements in her articles.
Given this focus, she is likely to be interested in pitches about upcoming TV shows or seasons of existing shows with a particular interest in exclusive details or behind-the-scenes insights. Pitches that offer access to industry insiders such as creators, producers or actors may also be well-received.
As Lesley does not have a specific geographic focus but works within the United States context it would be beneficial for pitches to highlight U.S.-centric angles when relevant.
