1. What are your main daily duties? Investigative reporting, consumer advocacy, hosting Good Morning Arizona weekends.
2. What kinds of stories are you looking for? In our 3 On Your Side unit we are looking to stand up for the little guy, expose waste and force more transparency. We also look for ways to save people money. For the weekend morning show, we like to profile local businesses, authors and entrepreneurs as much as possible. As long as they have focused, new and/or interesting information to share with our viewers.
3. What’s the best way to approach you with a pitch? I prefer an email that is short and to the point.
4. What recommendations do you have for PR professionals? Know the reporter you are pitching to so you don’t waste their time.
5. What’s the strangest/weirdest pitch you’ve ever received? Too many to recount.
