Cody Scanlan's coverage heavily focuses on local events and sports, particularly in the Holland area of Michigan. He is likely to be responsive to pitches related to local sporting events, seasonal activities such as Christmas celebrations or Veterans Day events, and community-focused topics like food, photography, and farming.
Given his focus on specific local communities within Michigan and Iowa, sources with direct knowledge or involvement in these areas would be most relevant for Cody's coverage. Consider offering access to unique local stories or providing expert commentary related to regional events that align with Cody's geographic focus.
Pitches involving national politics or broader topics not directly tied to Cody's localized themes may be less effective unless they have a clear connection to the regions he covers.
