How to pitch education journalists

Education reporters cover schools, universities, edtech, student finance, research and education policy. They want stories about students and teachers, local data, and expert comment on policy changes.

  • Tie your story to the academic calendar, such as admissions, results days and the new term.
  • Offer a teacher, student or parent voice, not only a spokesperson.
  • Local education reporters value district or campus-level data.
