Dear media friends (and random internet strangers),
Quick source requests if you have a moment:
Last minute Father’s Day Gift Guide (DEADLINE 🔥🔥🔥)
I’m working on a last minute Who's Your Zaddy? tongue in cheek but helpful Father's Day gift guide for my newsletter hellogorgeous.news and need:
Last-minute gift ideas that don't suck (beyond ties/socks/golf balls)
Artisan or food gifts are always interesting
Unique experiences/services for different Zaddy types
Anyone with Father's Day retail insights/trends to let us know if this year will be quiet or quite busy.
Please send pitches to rcwprpitches@gmail.com with the topic of your pitch in the subject line. Please don’t respond to this email, it will get lost in the shuffle.
Investigation piece in development: I’m working on a multipart deep dive into EV charging stations and am seeking:
Anyone in EV oversight who can offer a behind the scenes guide on how complicated the process is to create an Electric Vehicle charging station along with best and worst practices and incentives. How to apply for permits, what the basic cost is, what your responsibility is to anyone in the vicinity or living in a building with chargers and more.
Permit fraud experts (construction/municipal permits)
Municipal violation experts (NYC/tri-state area preferred)
Sources familiar with corruption in permitting processes
Anyone with experience in construction fraud investigations
Please send pitches to rcwprpitches@gmail.com with the topic of your pitch in the subject line. Please don’t respond to this email, it will get lost in the shuffle.
