Mark Ballard's coverage is heavily focused on government and politics, with a particular emphasis on local (Louisiana, New Orleans) and national (United States) political developments. He often covers announcements related to government policies and legal regulations, making him likely to be interested in pitches that offer insights or commentary on these topics.
Given his focus on specific political figures such as Steve Scalise, Mitch Landrieu, Bill Cassidy, and Mike Johnson within the Louisiana and US political landscape, he may be open to interviews or contributions from experts who can provide valuable analysis of their impact or decisions.
Pitches should take into account Mark's strong geographic focus on Louisiana and New Orleans when offering relevant stories or expert sources. Additionally, an understanding of the intricacies of U.S. politics at both federal and state levels would be beneficial for anyone reaching out to him.
