What the The Tennessean data says about pitching

  • 6 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. Health is the largest desk here with 10 people; a story outside a reporter's desk rarely gets a reply.
  • 90% of the staff we list are in Nashville, so local angles, local sources and local data carry weight.
  • Staff are spread across Nashville, Thompson's Station, Montgomery, Franklin. Pitch the person nearest your story.
