Hey everybody — Areeha here! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
If you're looking for a pitch, you've come to the right place. This is a great time to take on some news pitches before the busy school year begins. If one catches your eye, respond to this email and let me know! As usual, stories are due by 5 pm Friday. After receiving feedback from last week's When2Meet poll, I have decided to resume volunteer meetings once the Fall semester begins. Keep an eye out for a When2Meet poll coming your way in September! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I'd be happy to help out. If there's a particular news story you'd like to write, feel free to pitch it to me. If you need anything at all, shoot me an email at [email protected]. Without further ado, here are the pitches for this week!
