Cate's coverage focuses largely on local news, particularly related to business announcements and community initiatives. She also covers a range of topics including leadership changes, grants, education programs, real estate developments, and government announcements.
Given her emphasis on press releases and private sector or government announcements, she would likely be most receptive to pitches that align with these areas. For example, providing exclusive access to newsworthy business launches or expansions in Indiana could be appealing.
Pitching stories related to educational initiatives by businesses or the government might also resonate well with Cate given her coverage of education programs from IU's Kelley School announcement as this ties into both the education and leadership themes she covers.
