Not enough data
Lily Kepner's focus is primarily on local education, particularly higher education in Texas. She seems to cover government and political announcements related to educational policies and institutions.
If you're pitching to Lily, consider providing insights or commentary from relevant stakeholders such as university officials, students, educators or policy experts about the impact of specific regulations or events on higher education in Texas. Additionally, if you have access to exclusive data related to the topics covered (higher education policies, student activism), it could be valuable for her coverage.
Given Lily’s strong emphasis on local news within Texas universities and colleges, she would likely appreciate pitches that directly tie into these areas rather than broader national trends.
