Not enough data
Yoav Gonen's coverage focuses on local government announcements, legal policy regulation, and evolving stories in law enforcement and politics. Given this focus, pitching to Yoav would be most effective if the source has expert knowledge or insights related to local government policies and regulations in New York City.
As his articles cover a significant amount of content related to law enforcement, police misconduct, and investigations into public officials, experts with direct experience or inside knowledge of these areas may find success when reaching out. Additionally, individuals who are well-versed in NYC-specific legal matters could provide valuable perspectives for potential coverage by Yoav.
Since Yoav concentrates on local news within New York City specifically (and the United States more broadly), pitches should be tailored accordingly.
