Not enough data
Mercedes Hutton's coverage focuses on local news and government & politics in China, particularly Hong Kong. Her articles often cite data and cover government announcements, indicating a preference for factual information backed by official sources.
Given her focus on local issues, Mercedes is likely to be interested in pitches related to Hong Kong’s political landscape, tourism initiatives or challenges, public health matters such as organ donation rates, natural disasters like typhoons and the impact on search and rescue efforts.
Pitches should provide localized insights into these topics or offer access to reliable data that supports the angle being presented. It's also important to consider how the pitch aligns with Mercedes' demonstrated themes of coverage - politics and travel/tourism - when reaching out with relevant stories or expertise.
