Deadline: 10:00 PM PST - 28 July

Query:

Hi!

We're looking for mental health experts with authority and a
degree in the field of psychology/mental well being (currently

we can link to (preferable, so readers can see who they are
getting their information from)

--Pitch Contents-- Comments on the ways that your home
environment can affect your mental health (+ physical health is
it ties in)

We're focusing mostly on physical environmental factors (light,
clutter, separating work from relaxation if you're working from
home, etc.) but are also looking for some information on how
your at-home relationships can play a role (roommates, partners,
children, etc.).

After how it can affect you, do you have any tips to improve
someone's home environment to positively impact their mental
state?

Is there anything new and innovative that you can bring to this
topic? We love tips about bright, natural light and plants in
the home but are also looking for things less talked about in
this subject.

We also love personal experiences if you have those to support
your tips. COVID-19 examples and ties to the story are also very
topical.

Name: Lauren Krouse Freelance

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b2r1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Freelance

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 31 July

Query:

Hi! I am working on a piece called Can Narcissists Actually
Change? for Prevention.com and would love to connect with a
narcissism expert (psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, researcher, or
clinician) currently in practice by 7/31. Here are my questions:

*The word "narcissist" gets thrown around a lot, but there's a
difference between the trait vs. full-blown NPD. Can you explain
this difference and what is known about subtypes of NPD and how
they may present (compared to the cliche narcissist that may
come to mind)?

*Can narcissists change? Why or why not? What factors might
indicate that someone who may have NPD is capable or ready for
change versus not?

*If someone suspects they may have NPD or that someone in their
life like a relative or partner may, what should they do / how
could they talk to someone about their concerns or help them
seek treatment? What should they look for in a treatment
program, psychiatrist, or therapist?

*What does treatment for NPD entail?

*If you care about someone who has or may have NPD, how can you
be supportive while also protecting yourself? Any tips here?

*Anything else you'd like to add?

Thank you in advance! Lauren

Name: Caitlin Flynn POPSUGAR

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-b2rx@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: POPSUGAR

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 28 July

Query:

I'm working on an article addressing the question "Is It Safe To
Go To A Bar During COVID-19?" Assuming bars are open in any
given area, what's the risk of going? What precautions should
you take? Should you call in advance and ask questions about
safety measures the bar is taking? Because we have to take off
masks to eat and drink, should we maintain a distance of more
than six feet? What other things should people take into account
before making the decision? I'm also writing a separate article
addressing the question "is it safe to go to restaurants during
covid-19" so any information that would be more applicable to
bars than restaurants would be really helpful (for example, I've
heard public bathrooms are a major risk and people may be more
likely to need a restroom if they're out drinking; I'm also
thinking that if people have a few drinks they may become less
cautious and vigilant about social distancing etc)

Requirements:

Doctors who specialize in infectious diseases.

*Note: I posted this query yesterday so if you already
responded, no need to answer again. I'm just looking for an
additional source or two so I'm hoping this will catch the eye
of someone who may not have seen it the first time around.

15) Summary: Looking for opinions from Business Schools and employers on MBA recruitment

Name: David Woods-Hale AMBITION

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b2n2@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: AMBITION

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

MBA recruitment in to the corporate world: Can you be more
specific?

There is a war for talent; great employees are needed to push
businesses and economies through challenging times, and the onus
should be on recruiters and employers to be more forthcoming
with what they want and need in terms of strategically building
talent pipelines in partnership with Business School.

At the moment, is MBA recruitment too transactional?

The rhetoric is always focused on Business Schools having to
source and put the work in with employers to forge strong
relationships in terms of talent pipelines - and find out what
they want essentially.

But, are employers being too 'generic' in terms of their
requirements for MBA graduates - and they are disinclined to
have detailed conversations about what their businesses need at
specific times?

It's easy for employers to say they're looking for
'trustworthiness', 'collaboration', 'innovation', 'creativity'
'good work ethic' etc.

Are employers just using these terms because they're easy and
inoffensive and resonate with everyone? Are they asking for too
much for specific jobs? What do they actually want to see?

Most commentary on the issue puts the onus on Business Schools
to interpret and to translate what employers need ...

But do employers really know what they want from Business
Schools? And why is the terminology so generic and - arguably -
wishy washy?

How can an MBA demonstrate their relevant at a recruitment fair
or in an interview if they're not completely clear on what
employers need, and or prepared for this? Is it the same across
the board for every role they're filling?

The expectation is always on Business Schools to deliver and, to
a certain extent employers are customers - for executive
education and customised programmes for example.

But the primary customer of the School is the student but the
employer perspective will not always deliver what's best for the
student.

Therefore, should Business Schools be telling employers how they
can best mould students that they will want to hire in ways they
haven't considered yet?

This gets into the old theory vs practice argument, but Schools
should be empowered to influence practice with their research
and therefore they should also be able to influence the tone of
skills being sought after. This article will seek to put
forward the opinions of both Business Schools and employers to
work out how they can better speak the same language when it
comes to MBA recruitment.

Questions to consider are:

* Why are we having the same conversation about talent and
skills in terms of recruitment that we were having 10 years ago?
Is progress being made?

* Are employers actively using strategic partnerships with
Business Schools to build talent pipelines?

* Do you think that generic terminology such as
'collaboration', 'trustworthiness', 'innovation', 'creativity',
and 'talent' are clear enough when communicating with MBA
Business Schools in terms of the skills they're nurturing with
students?

* What are employers looking for from MBA graduates
specifically?

* What do employers expect MBAs to be able to do once they
arrive into their organisations - and why are they not clear as
to what they need?

* Do HR teams know what they want for MBA-specific leadership
roles or are they using a tick box exercise for all roles?

* Is it time employers stopped expecting candidates and
Business Schools to know what they're looking for and spell it
out?

* How does culture come into play here? Are employers and
Business Schools sharing values and purpose when partnering for
career pathways?

* Is recruitment is too transactional in terms of employers
telling Business Schools skills they need and picking graduates,
as opposed to Business Schools telling employers the skills they
should need, and discussing requirements?

* If Business Schools are leading the way in terms of business
thought and trend analyses, surely they should be the driving
force in solving the talent crisis? How can they move into this
strategic position in the employment agenda?

Requirements:

Ideal commentators would be employers (heads of recruitment / HR
directors), executive head hunters or recruitment agencies,
Careers experts from Business Schools and / or MBA graduates who
can share their own recruitment experience.

67) Summary: Can Travel Insurance Protect Me If I Lose My Job?

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b2r3@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 July

Query:

I'm working on a story about the protection travel insurance
offers if you lose your job. I'd love to hear from anyone who
lost their job before a vacation and filed a successful claim.
From travel insurance experts, I'm interested in know what kind
of job-related coverage travel insurance can offer. If, for
example, your job assignment changes or you receive new military
orders, can insurance help? What is typically covered -- and
what isn't? Are there any new coverages, in light of the
pandemic, that travelers should look for?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. If a phone interview is necessary, I
will follow up right away. Kindly also include your full name
and a jargon-free, brief (two to three word) description of your
company or affiliation as you would like it to appear in the
article. I will do my absolute best to acknowledge that I
received your pitch and will make every effort to let you know
when the story appears. More information on my queries can be

68) Summary: Try These Alternatives To Travel Insurance

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b2r4@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 July

Query:

I'm researching a story about alternatives to travel insurance.
For example, some travel agencies and tour operators offer
travel "protection" that has insurance-like qualities. Credit
cards can also cover you. And there's also standalone coverage
(for things like rental cars). I'm interested in hearing from
anyone who has relied on these travel insurance alternatives.
From insurance experts, I'd love to know the pros and cons of
these alternatives. What should buyers be aware of when they
rely on a travel insurance alternative? What makes them better
-- or worse?
