Tallahassee, United States (Local)
Riley Winch's coverage mainly focuses on local weather events, particularly severe or unusual weather patterns. Given the emphasis on announcements and seasonal changes, Riley would likely be interested in pitches related to upcoming extreme weather conditions, community initiatives for disaster preparedness such as recycling food waste, and investments in infrastructure to mitigate severe weather impacts.
As Riley’s focus is largely local and regional (United States, Florida, Tallahassee), relevant sources should have expertise or direct involvement with the specific issues around these areas. For those pitching stories related to extreme weather or environmental initiatives in other locations, it may help to draw parallels between those situations and what’s happening locally.
Given that a significant portion of Riley's coverage revolves around tragedy-related topics like severe storms and their impact on communities, pitches should aim at providing useful information for people affected by adverse weather conditions or offering insights into how communities can better prepare for such events.
