Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b0io@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 15 July

Query:

I am writing an article about the potential benefits of using
elderberry as part of an immune support regimen. I am looking
for medical and integrative professionals who can weigh in on
this topic in a meaningful way.

Here is a list of questions you could choose to answer: How does
elderberry support the immune system? Should everyone
incorporate elderberry into their immune support regimen? Do you
ever recommend elderberry to your patients? (If so, in what form
and dosage?) Do you use elderberry yourself? Would you recommend
children use an elderberry supplement to get them through the
winter? Other potential pitches could be anything you believe is
important to know about elderberry, tips or observations you've
picked up in your research or practice, or anything else you
believe is relevant.

This is a PR friendly post, so be sure to include links to all
of your relevant social media profiles and websites so we can
link to you in the post and share the love once the post goes
live.

"billing quality standards" that should be demanded by every

what those standards are ... and how to make sure the billing
from their doctors/hospitals reflects those standards ... and
what to do if they don't.

5) Summary: The Great Mask Debate

Name: Conan Milner The Epoch Times

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b0jl@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Epoch Times

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 14 July

Query:

The ferocious fight over masks is yet another bizarre feature of
2020. In social media and on the street, people express strong
feelings from either side. But do they really slow viral spread,
or merely amplify panic and division?

Health officials have been back and forth on masks. First
claiming that anything less than a well-fitted N95 mask offered
little to no protection, and later asserting that wearing any
face covering (even a bandana) was an essential tool in
preventing mass casualties. Since then, state mandates have
featured a range of requirements and recommendations about mask
wearing, which customers and employees have been forced to obey.
However, many doctors, nurses, and other health professionals
say constantly covering our mouths and noses does more to hurt
our health than help it.

Meanwhile, masks have become a kind of political statement.
Nobody finds masks comfortable or convenient, but some believe
their sacrifice is saving lives. However, they must confront
others who dare to go mask-less, believing they're standing up
against a tyrannical public health system more interested in
control and submission than people's well-being.

Requirements:

I'm interested in hearing from health care professionals about
how they feel in regard to the validity of mask requirements,
but I'm also interested in hearing from anyone who has a unique
take on this heated topic.

45) Summary: Need experts for story: Why more single women want to own homes

Name: Erik Martin CTW Features

Category: General

Email: query-b0j3@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CTW Features

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 16 July

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview real estate agents/brokers, lenders, attorneys,
housing industry analysts, real estate faculty/professors, and
other real estate experts for the following story:

Single women want to own homes: Here's why. Fresh data from
First American (details at
https://blog.firstam.com/economics/for-single-women-homeownership-increasingly-comes-first)
found that in 2019, the homeownership rate for single women
(including widowed, separated, or divorced) was 2.2 percent
higher than single men, according to anonymized household-level
survey data. Differences between how single women and men
prioritize homeownership may help explain why the homeownership
rate among women exceeds men. One 2018 report by Bank of America
found that single women prioritize owning a home more than their
single male counterparts (73 percent vs. 65 percent). They're
also prioritizing homeownership over many key life priorities,
such as getting married (41 percent) and having children (31
percent). Homeownership is a key tool for wealth creation in the
United States, and single women are increasingly choosing to
invest in homes and embracing wealth creation through home
buying. The single female homeownership trend has largely
followed the national homeownership rate, increasing in the
early 2000s and peaking in 2005, before falling in the aftermath
of the recession. According to their analysis, the homeownership
rate for single women has increased from a 20-year low of 49
percent in 2016 to almost 51 percent in 2019. This piece will
summarize the major findings and offer perspectives and tips
from experts as to what single-women should be thinking
about/doing before purchasing a home. I can accept written
responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via email to
the following questions. My deadline is noon central, Thursday,
July 16.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or unexpected about
any of the aforementioned study findings, and why? 2. Why do
more single women want to own homes lately, especially compared
to single men? What's behind this trend? 3. What are the pros
and cons of buying and owning a home for a single woman versus
renting? 4. What do you recommend to single women: Who is a good
candidate for buying/owning a home and why? Who is not? When
should they start the home shopping/buying process? What
strategies and resources should they pursue? 5. What's your
prediction: Will the rate of single women buying/owning homes
continue to increase in the short- and long-term? Why/why not?
6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 7.
What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and
email address?

seeking answers to. I can only accept written responses via
email. My deadline is noon central, Thursday, July 16, 2020.

QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it smart to consider adding a fire pit (a
more permanent/stationery one) to your yard? 2. What are the
pros and cons of building a more permanent backyard fire pit
(versus buying a pre-made portable one)? 3. Who are good
candidates for adding a DIY fire pit and why? 4. What are the
best materials for building a DIY fire pit? 5. Please describe

estate faculty, lenders, financial experts, Certified Mortgage
Planning Specialists, lenders/loan officers, property attorneys,
and other real estate experts (no real estate agents/brokers
please) for the following story:

Should you pay off your mortgage early or invest that money
elsewhere? This story will provide tips and insights on why and
how to pay off your mortgage early vs. investing that extra
money elsewhere. Note that I can only accept full-sentence
written responses (which I can use as quotes) for this article.
My deadline for written answers to these questions is noon
central, Wednesday, July 15.

QUESTIONS: 1. Explain how it's possible to pay off your mortgage
early by paying extra toward your principal each month and how
most lenders allow this. Also, explain how this works: What is
the principle behind making accelerated payments, and how does
making extra payments help pay off the loan earlier? 2. What are
the pros and cons of, and who is a good candidate for: (a)
paying off your mortgage early; versus (b) using that money
instead to invest in your retirement or the stock market? 3.
Imagine you got a $2,000 per month raise. Should you use that
extra money to pay off your mortgage early or invest in the
stock market/your retirement? Please explain, with math: (a) how
much you'd save by paying off your mortgage early here vs. (b)
how much you're likely to gain by investing. 4. Imagine you get
a $100,000 windfall. Should you use that extra money to pay off
your mortgage early or invest in the stock market/your
retirement? Please explain, with math: (a) how much you'd save
by paying off your mortgage early here vs. (b) how much you're
likely to gain by investing. 5. Explain/suggest how it may be
worthwhile to pursue both strategies: maybe refinance into a
lower monthly payment or shorter term and, with your leftover
money instead in the stock market/retirement? 6. What should
people consider carefully before pursuing either option (paying
off a mortgage early vs. investing that money)? 7. Any other
thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual

other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,

through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,

company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.
