Ryan's coverage primarily focuses on Government & Politics, with a strong emphasis on breaking news and evolving stories related to high-profile legal cases and political events. Given this focus, he would likely be receptive to pitches that provide expert analysis or exclusive information related to ongoing legal proceedings, government investigations, and developments in high-profile political controversies.
Pitches should offer insights into the Capitol Riot, Jan. 6 investigation, Rudy Giuliani’s legal issues or defamation cases involving public figures. Additionally, experts who can speak about FBI arrests and their implications within the context of these topics may also capture Ryan's attention.
Given his national focus on the United States' politics landscape as reflected in his article titles focused on US-based individuals/events like Rudy Giuliani and the January 6 rioters trial; it would be beneficial for pitches to align with this geographic scope.
