Sara Winegardner’s articles primarily revolve around telecommunications, FCC regulations, and technology industry updates. She seems to be particularly interested in government announcements, press releases, and private sector developments within the telecommunications and technology sectors.
Given her focus on government announcements and industry insights into telecom policies, she may welcome pitches from experts with deep knowledge of FCC regulations, broadband policies, spectrum allocation issues or those involved in the telecommunications sector at large.
As Sara does not have a specific geographic focus mentioned but covers national-level topics related to telecommunication policies and technologies such as AI and mobile policy discussion at events like CES 2024; outreach should provide insights that are relevant on a wider scale without being region-specific.
