I?Ç submitted an entry to the Good Pitch Blog a few weeks back and I've been so busy I hadn't noticed it had been listed.?Ç The jist of the pitch was we saw a way to highlight a community issue in light of the recent deaths of two infants as a result of child abuse.?Ç It's one of those stories that gets short shrift, or seems routine, unless you can find a way to humanize it.?Ç Todd Defren's Good Pitch Blog had this to say:
What's To Like About The Pitch: Tearjerker, first of all. Who doesn't want to help those poor children? In this pitch, Michael and his team are trying to put a human face on scary statistics that might be boring on their face, but, the pitch acknowledges the dry stats and goes on to tell a darker story about the city's meteoric rise in population. They are empowering the reporter access to experts, like a local judge, who can tell the official tale. Lastly, this is a story with national significance but, it's being pitched with specific, local details to a local cadre of reporters.
Thanks Todd for the kind words.
