Sydney's coverage is primarily focused on local news, particularly in Pennsylvania and State College. She tends to cover a wide range of topics including government & politics, health & wellbeing, sports, and crime. Pitches should be tailored to these themes and focus on providing insights or commentary relevant to local events within these areas.
Given the high percentage of announcements in her articles, she may respond well to pitches related to new initiatives or programs being launched by local government agencies or organizations based in the area she covers.
In addition, Sydney’s audience seems interested in weather-related updates as well as community-focused stories such as education initiatives and public health matters. Therefore, tailoring pitches around these themes could be effective for engaging with her coverage.
