Not enough data
Rich Kirby's coverage is heavily focused on local news, with an emphasis on business openings and government announcements. Pitches to him should ideally offer insights into new or upcoming businesses in the areas he covers, as well as any significant developments related to local governmental announcements.
As crime makes up a notable portion of his coverage, providing information about local crime trends or unique community safety initiatives could also be effective. Additionally, given that Rich covers family & relationships topics, stories featuring inspiring family-related events within these communities may capture his interest.
Considering his focus on specific locations in Connecticut such as Danbury and Southbury among others, pitches tailored specifically to these locales are likely to resonate with him more effectively than general state-wide or national stories.
