We've come such a long way since our first job as a journalist. Our first job was writing a piece on the importance of prenuptial agreements.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Be unique. If your pitch sounds the same as others, we'll forget about it as soon as the others. Be yourself and stand out.

Slack, does that count as a social network?
Who do you wish followed you?
You
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

We wrote a story in 2022 on why parents are joining the growing trend of homeschooling.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Take every writing opportunity as an opportunity to shine.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Anytime you're able to grab our attention.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
All pitches that we've forgotten about were probably not very effective in what they were meant to do.
