Valerie's coverage heavily centers around aviation, particularly Boeing and the aerospace industry. She often reports on government announcements and press releases related to this sector which indicates a preference for official statements or actions from regulatory bodies.
Given her focus, Valerie would likely be interested in receiving pitches related to exclusive insights into Boeing's strategies, updates on aircraft deliveries, developments in airplane safety (especially concerning specific models like the 737 MAX), as well as news related to airline accidents or investigations. Sources with direct access to information within these areas could be beneficial for pitching topics of interest.
While her geographic focus is not specified, considering that she covers international incidents such as Japan's runway collision investigation and China-related plane deliveries by Boeing, it’s fair to assume that she has an international perspective rather than focusing solely on one country.
