Not enough data
Noah’s reporting predominantly revolves around agriculture and farming, with a significant focus on government announcements and legal policy regulations. This indicates that he is likely to be interested in receiving pitches related to legislative changes impacting the agricultural sector, insights into government policies affecting rural development, or analysis of regulatory decisions influencing farming practices.
Given Noah's geographic focus on the United States and his emphasis on government announcements and legal policy regulation within the agriculture sector, experts who can provide detailed insights into U.S. agricultural legislation, governmental initiatives impacting farmers, or data-backed perspectives on farm-related policies are most likely to resonate with him.
Pitches should align with Noah’s coverage themes by offering unique angles on U.S. agricultural developments or providing expert commentary backed by reliable data sources relevant to the American farming landscape.
