Name: Daniel Litwin MarketScale

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b2u9@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: MarketScale

Deadline: 5:00 PM CST - 28 July

Query:

Our publication is wanting to hear from restaurant owners and
operators about their experiences during COVID, specifically
around a few core issues like delivery and marketing. I'm aiming
to source several restaurant operators across the US to get
varied perspectives.

We're recording this asynchronously through VideoAsk, via this
link: https://www.videoask.com/fffhoy9km

This mean you as the guest can answer without the need to
connect with us directly. Just set up the webcam, get
comfortable, and answer the questions as they appear on the
platform!

Here are the questions just in case.

How do you feel about leading app-based delivery platforms, like
Uber Eats and Postmates, as a solution to delivery options
during COVID? Do you imagine delivery and curbside will become
longterm solutions for your restaurant? Why/why not? What sort
of operational challenges do you need to solve to keep delivery
sustainable for your operation? How has COVID changed your
marketing strategies to retain customers, and how sustainable
are these solutions in your opinion?

Requirements:

Submit answers on VideoAsk: https://www.videoask.com/fffhoy9km

The main requirement is that we hear from restaurant owners and
operators, as we want this to be a grassroots B2B piece of video
content. Here are some helpful guidelines for recording.

What you'll need:

- Stable internet connection - Computer/laptop - Webcam -
Optional for better quality: Microphone and/or headphones with a
microphone

Tips:

1. Look at the camera, not the screen. This will be more
engaging for the viewer. 2. Stay in the center of the camera
shot. 3. Close other programs on your computer to prevent extra
strain on your computer and eliminate notification sounds. 4.
Lighting can be tricky, but usually a well lit room will be
adequate for video. You can also use a lamp or other small
lighting source to make sure you are lit well.

Twitter has deleted a video about the reported benefits of
hydroxychloroquine and temporarily suspended Donald Trump Jr.'s
account for sharing it or something similar (links below).

While Twitter, as a private company, appears legally allowed to

functioning as an information gatekeeper for consumers. What
moral responsibilities are being usurped in the process? What
precedent does this action set for social media platforms? What
kind of response can Twitter expect in the form of regulation,
as the Trump administration has threatened previously? What are
the potential benefits and potential ills inherent to this
decision?

Companies like Robinhood have completely disrupted the finance

Hi! I'm always looking to feature women over the age of 40 who

extra income. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear your story!

pitch my editor: -Name, age, location (note: must be above age
40) -What inspired you to start this side hustle, and how did
you get started? -What is your favorite part? Aka, what keeps
you going? -Roughly how much time do you spend on it per week or
month? -Roughly how much money does it bring in per week or
month? (the actual amount doesn't matter, we just need it for
the headline!) -Does this money go toward anything in
particular? -How do you find new customers?

Thanks so much!

Email: query-b2ud@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Inquisitr

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 29 July

Query:

All major professional sports ceased operation by mid-March as
the coronavirus pandemic continued its global rise. Baseball,
basketball, football, hockey and soccer have all resumed in some
form or another, be it a resumption of play, a playoff to decide
eventual champions or other pre-season activities. Many players
are opting out of the current or upcoming seasons/playoffs,
citing the pandemic and concern for their families' safety.

What effect will their absences have? Why is the resumption of
professional sports important? With fans not allowed in
attendance and sports leagues playing in bubbles (to varying
degrees of containment), what's the point fo resumption? How
will this impact the future of sports in America?

Requirements:

Seeking written remarks (no interview offers, please) from
sports analysts, sociology scholars with experience talking
about the role of sports in society, athletes, sports management
firms, agents or other athlete representatives, media analysts
and other qualified/relevant professionals.

Travel

77) Summary: Hotel Buyouts

Name: Mark Ellwood Business Insider

Category: Travel

Email: query-b2sp@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Business Insider

Deadline: 12:00 PM EST - 30 July

Query:

Travel, which was largely stopped by the pandemic, is ramping up
again, albeit in specific ways - one of the biggest trends as it
reboots is the buyout, where a group can take over an entire
property for its own use, vacationing and responsibly socially
distancing at the same time. You might go to barefoot luxury in
Costa Rica at Villa Manzu, or a New England cottage writ large
at Maine's Chebeague Island Inn or just snap up Nukutepipi in
Tahiti, with room for 52 people at $1m/week. We want to
introduce the concept to the reader via a traveler's first-hand
perspective.The key here is interviewing, by phone or email,
guests who booked a hotel buyout in the pandemic era, and can
share their experiences about it. How did it compare with a
typical hotel stay? How did you hear about the idea? What would
you say to someone else considering it - what did you learn you
did, and didn't like? You get the idea. I am NOT looking to talk
to hotel owners or GMs or staffers or former guests of any other
kind, including those who bought out the hotel before the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Please note: The emphasis is 100% on five star or luxury
properties. We would not be able to include anything other than
luxury hotels or resorts. We can, however, feature ones from
anywhere in the world. We're also not looking for tweaks or
sidebars to this story; all I'm keen to source are contented
guests who have participated in a full buyout at a luxury hotel
somewhere in the world during the pandemic. I am open to folks
who have already booked, but not yet traveled.

Requirements:

Please send me details as follows: One para outline of the hotel
and its facilities, as well as the price for the full buyout.
One para bio of the potential client to interview, along with
specs on his or her buyout booking. NO attachments, please; all
emails with attachments will be deleted unopened. Please reply
directly to this email, rather than emailing me via other
methods. Please mark subject line: HOTEL BUYOUTS
