How to pitch sports journalists
Sports reporters cover leagues, athletes, fixtures, fitness, sports business and sponsorship. They want access to athletes, timely results-driven angles and strong photography.
- Sports news moves on match days. Pitch features midweek, not on game day.
- Athlete availability is your strongest asset, so lead with who can talk.
- Sports business reporters care about deal value, audiences and sponsorship return.
