Martin Ross predominantly covers press releases and private sector announcements, focusing primarily on sports broadcasting and related topics. He would likely be most responsive to pitches that involve exclusive insights or interviews with industry insiders regarding new broadcast deals, OTT services, rights contracts, or significant financial developments within the sports media landscape.
Given his focus on private sector announcements and press releases in the realm of sports broadcasting, he may also be interested in hearing from key figures at companies involved in these deals who can provide insider perspectives on their strategies and outcomes.
It's worth noting that Martin’s coverage does not specify a geographic focus but appears to take an international view of the sports media industry.
