How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email or DM is best

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Surround yourself with the kind of writers you want to be- watch the documentaries,read the newspapers, start writing, blogging, anything..

When's the best time to pitch you?

I'm quite good at responses, but earlier in the morning is best, the middle of the day is not a great time as I'm out on stories usually.
