Not enough data
Sam's coverage is heavily focused on local news, including community events, crime, health, and government & politics. Given this focus, he would likely be most receptive to pitches related to local events or issues in the Peoria area of Illinois.
For example, if you have a story about a unique community event or an issue impacting the local population in Peoria or surrounding areas that aligns with Sam's typical coverage themes such as sports events, family-related initiatives like support groups for health issues (such as breast cancer survivors forming pickleball group), government announcements regarding senior housing facility mail delivery problems etc., then it could resonate well with him. If your pitch involves individuals impacted by these issues who are willing to share their stories and experiences publicly, it may also capture his interest.
Given Sam's high percentage of announcement and government announcement-based coverage attributes (42% and 11%, respectively), consider pitching stories tied to significant local announcements or political developments within the Peoria region.
