Lucy Xia's focus on local New Zealand news, particularly concerning human resources and employment issues, suggests she would be responsive to pitches related to evolving stories involving labor exploitation, immigration concerns, and government announcements impacting these areas in the region.
Given her coverage of breaking news and evolving stories predominantly focused on local issues such as flooded homes and migrant worker exploitation, relevant sources with firsthand knowledge or direct involvement in similar situations may capture her attention. Additionally, experts able to provide insights into legal aspects of these matters could also be of interest.
Considering Lucy's strong emphasis on local content specific to New Zealand, pitching story ideas that align with this geographic focus will likely yield better results.
