  • TV segments are booked by producers and the assignment desk. 385 of the 692 people here are producers or on the assignment desk, so start there for anything visual or time-sensitive.
  • 145 editors decide what runs. Pitch the editor of the desk that fits your story; pitch a reporter when you have an angle for their beat.
  • Match the desk first. Society is the largest desk here with 26 people; a story outside a reporter's desk rarely gets a reply.
  • Staff are spread across New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Pitch the person nearest your story.
