Karl’s coverage is heavily centered on media and telecom, especially the business and policy moves that shape ownership, consolidation, and labor impacts. He appears most responsive to pitches that offer sharp, timely angles on major dealmaking, regulatory decisions, newsroom changes, or the real-world effects of telecom policy on workers and consumers.
He also seems open to sources who can speak credibly about the implications of industry consolidation, platform power, and communications infrastructure, particularly when there’s a clear public-interest or policy hook.
Given his national U.S. focus, pitches should frame the significance around the American market and federal policy.
