Pitching Insights

Michael Harriot’s work focuses on opinion editorials, legal policy regulation, and citing data within the themes of government & politics and culture & society. He primarily covers topics related to race, social justice, politics, black history, and cultural critique.

Given his focus on opinion pieces and citing data in political and sociocultural contexts with a specific emphasis on African American perspectives, Michael may be receptive to pitches from individuals who can provide unique insights or expert commentary regarding current events related to racial justice issues or societal matters affecting the Black community in the United States.

He has a national focus but also specifically highlights South Carolina at times. Therefore, if your pitch relates to events or developments with broader implications for these areas or resonates deeply with African American experiences in the US South particularly around socio-political issues he's written about previously; it could capture his interest.
