How to pitch WYPR

Who to pitch at WYPR

What the WYPR data says about pitching

• TV segments are booked by producers and the assignment desk. 4 of the 30 people here are producers or on the assignment desk, so start there for anything visual or time-sensitive.
• 4 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 2 people; a story outside a reporter's desk rarely gets a reply.
• Staff are spread across Maryland, Baltimore, Washington. Pitch the person nearest your story.
