Not enough data
Josh Dickey’s coverage leans toward high-interest legal and political stories tied to media, entertainment, and major public figures, so pitches work best when they offer timely, concrete developments or a sharp angle on a dispute, leak, or public controversy.
He seems especially responsive to sources with direct knowledge of a case, newsroom move, or political/media fight, as well as people who can quickly explain why a story matters now. Breaking updates, documents, and on-the-record reaction are likely more useful than broad commentary.
Given his national U.S. focus, keep pitches centered on developments with broad American relevance.
