manufacturing of modular units and panels been impacted on the
factory floor? Are workers able to maintain social distance and

areas of offsite construction are prone to more impacts due to
less travel and more social distancing?Looking ahead, what areas

We're doing a story to find out if face masks are causing kids
to get more cavities. Obviously, the mask itself isn't making
this happen, but some people believe that kids are mouth
breathing while wearing them, thus causing dry mouth, which
leads to cavities. But is this really the case? Could it be that
kids are snacking a lot more during quarantine (and not brushing
enough) which is making them get cavities?

Please respond directly with your answers to
jennifer@celebrityparentsmag.com with the subject line Cavities
and Kids. Please include your title and link to your site. Thank

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 July

Query:

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
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
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,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
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,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b1rh@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 July

Query:

I'm researching a two-part story on fixing your travel problems
during the pandemic. I would be interested in hearing from
anyone who had a pandemic-specific problem with a trip (airline,
car rental, cruise, hotel, tour, vacation rental) and managed to
resolve it successfully. What was the problem? How did you fix
it? What kind of approach did you use that might be different
from normal times? What kind of advice would you have for fellow
travelers with a similar problem, such as trying to get a refund
for a canceled flight or vacation rental? From travel experts, I
would be interested in your best problem-solving strategies for
the pandemic. How have people adapted to traveling during the
pandemic? What are the most effective strategies for solving
problems during the pandemic? Also, how will the pandemic change
the way people approach problem-solving, at least when it comes
to travel?
