Dan Kois seems most responsive to pitches that connect culture and everyday life, especially pieces that examine how media, nostalgia, and shared experiences shape the way people think about travel, relationships, and social habits. He also appears open to thoughtful commentary tied to film and filmmaking, particularly when there’s a clear angle on why a creative choice matters or how it resonates with audiences.
Given the mix of informative and opinion-driven coverage, outreach that offers a smart take, a vivid anecdote, or a contrarian-but-supported perspective will likely land better than a purely promotional pitch. Since he doesn’t seem tied to a specific region, a broader angle should work fine.

In the video it is a cold, wet day in 2012 on New York City's High Line, and Alison Knowles cheerfully narrates the question she assumes passers-by are posing as they walk past this remounting of her most famous work. “You're making a salad outdoors and in the rain?” she asks. Then she answers: “This must be an art event!”
