Think about a personal experience, internship, extracurricular activity, club, sport, volunteer role, or personal project — something you care about and believe deserves more attention. Your task has two parts:
Part 1: The Pitch – Write a media pitch to a real journalist convincing them to write a news story about your experience or activity. Your pitch should explain what the news story is, why it matters to the journalist's audience, and why it's newsworthy right now. Strong pitches are concise, compelling and specific. Treat this like you only have 30 seconds of a journalist's attention.
Part 2: The Journalist – Identify the specific journalist you're pitching to (name and outlet) and explain why you chose them. It can be a print, digital or broadcast journalist, or even a podcaster. What have they covered before that makes them the right fit for this story? How does your pitch align with their audience and their work?
