Given the broad spectrum of themes covered by Patrick Durkin, those looking to pitch to him should tailor their pitches based on his specific article titles. For instance:
- If you have expertise in Australian rail transportation or related government announcements (e.g., infrastructure projects), he may be interested.
- For articles related to hunting or wildlife conservation efforts in Australia or Melbourne specifically would likely catch his attention.
- As a writer covering various topics like art and daily mail delivery with an emphasis on governmental policies and regulations in Australia (particularly Melbourne), sources with insights into these areas could provide valuable input for relevant future articles.
Pitches that align closely with the geographic focus of Melbourne or broader national news within Australia are more likely to resonate strongly with Patrick's reporting interests.
