Lyndsey focuses on event coverage and press releases within the entertainment industry, particularly music-related stories. She may be interested in pitches related to exclusive interviews with artists or behind-the-scenes access to major events, as well as breaking news about artist signings, album releases, or Grammy recognition.
Given her focus on specific artists and their activities such as signing contracts or delivering notable performances, she is likely looking for insider information or unique angles that are not widely covered elsewhere. If you have access to newsworthy announcements from record labels, management firms or other key players in the music industry these can also be of interest.
