Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 September
Query:
I am a freelance writer working on an online article for
National Geographic about the coronavirus pandemic and the
possible risk posed to animals--and threatened and endangered
animals in particular. Recent research
(doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2010146117) has suggested that an array of
animals (including many considered to be either vulnerable,
endangered, or critically endangered) are predicted to be at
risk of infection via their ACE2 receptor. I'm looking for a
subject matter expert who can react to this study's findings
and/or give a sense of just how much of a threat the ongoing
pandemic poses to animals that are already vulnerable to
extinction. What are the implications of this study's findings
for threatened and endangered animals both in the wild and in
the care of humans? Is there reason to be concerned or alarmed?
The study's authors do caution against overinterpreting the
predicted risks outlined in the study, noting the actual risks
must be confirmed by direct experimental data. Based on what the
scientific community knows at this point in time, how much of a
threat is this virus and the ongoing pandemic in relation to
endangered animal species?

14) Summary: Tips and Advice from college admissions officersName: Judy Mandell ny times
Category: EducationEmail: query-b83x@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: ny times
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 September
Query:
I have been assigned to write an article for the New York Times
titled "Great Advice That You Really Need If You're Applying To
College During the Covid-19 Pandemic - Admissions Officers Take
Some of The Stress Out Of The Application Process." Choosing a
college has always been a major decision. It can affect your
career choice, your income, where you live, your friends, and
possibly your mate.
But today, competition for admission to college, especially
during the Covid-19 pandemic, can be brutal.
I will ask admissions officers from a variety of colleges and
universities for tips to students and their parents in this time
of the corona virus. I am especially interested in
colleges/universities on the west coast and in the middle of the
country, although I am open to those in the rest of the U.S. and
Canada. I will ask them to answers these questions by e-mail
for starters.
How will applying to college be different than it was before the
Covid-19 pandemic?
Will it be more nerve wracking than ever?
What should applicants look for in a college, when many classes
are taught virtually? Many applicants who have been accepted
to college this year have taken a gap year. How will that
affect students applying this year? Some colleges are not
requiring SAT's or ACT's, but they are optional. Is it a good
idea for students to take these tests? Why or why not?
How will various colleges differ?
Will you possibly increase your enrollment for next year?
What are the most important things students should do when
applying to college so they won't freak out? Have you and your
admissions officers changed the way you look at applications
since the Covid-19 epidemic? If so, how?
In making final decisions, I assume you are you looking at the
incoming class as a whole? What factors go in to this decision
-- gender balance, race/ethnicity, geographical diversity,
legacies, donor's kids/grandkids?
Is financial aid a factor?
How will admission officers make decisions when applicants are
similar in academic achievement, standardize test scores,
outside activities, geographic, ethnic, socio-economic
representation, parents/siblings who attended the college,
number of applicants from your high school?
What would you advise your son or daughter if he or she were
applying to college this year?
How can parents, grandparents, teachers, advisors lower the
stress factor for applicants?
Other thoughts?

Public Policy and Government
57) Summary: Is the President Unhinged?Name: Stacy Brown Black Press USA
Category: Public Policy and GovernmentEmail: query-b7xn@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Black Press USA
Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 5 September
Query:
We want your thoughts in an email only, we can't call everyone
so please put your or your client's comments in an email when
you respond. Thank you. Here's the premise based on the most
recent report in the New York Times that went like this:
President Trump breaks so many of the normal rules of politics
that it can sometimes be hard to know when his tweets and
comments are truly newsworthy. Even by his standards, though,
the past several days have stood out. Consider: Trump said on
Monday that a plane "almost completely loaded with thugs"
wearing "dark uniforms" had been headed to the Republican
National Convention to do "big damage." The claim is similar to
a baseless conspiracy theory that spread online over the summer,
well before the convention. He has declined to condemn the
killings of two protesters in Kenosha, Wis. He instead defended
the 17-year-old charged in the shootings -- a Trump supporter
named Kyle Rittenhouse -- saying he was acting in self-defense.
Trump also promoted a Twitter post that called Rittenhouse "a
good example of why I decided to vote for Trump." He defended
violence committed by his supporters in Portland, Ore., who
fired paintballs and pepper spray at Black Lives Matter
protesters. He compared the police shooting of Jacob Blake in
Kenosha to missing "a three-foot putt" in a golf tournament. He
claimed that "people that you've never heard of" and "people
that are in the dark shadows" are controlling Joe Biden. He
claimed Democrats were trying to "destroy" suburbs with
"low-income housing, and with that comes a lot of other
problems, including crime." He added that Cory Booker -- one of
the highest-profile Black Democrats -- would be "in charge of
it." He predicted that the stock market would crash if Biden
won. He said that Biden, at the Democratic National Convention,
"didn't even discuss law enforcement, the police. Those words
weren't mentioned." In fact, Biden held a discussion at the
convention on policing, with a police chief. Trump claimed that
he "took control of" the situation in Kenosha by sending in the
National Guard. In fact, Wisconsin's governor, not the
president, sent the National Guard. He retweeted messages
asserting that the pandemic's death toll was overstated.
Evidence indicates the opposite is true. He said that protests
against police brutality were actually a secret "coup attempt"
by anarchists "trying to take down the President."

59) Summary: Are travel fees on their way out?Name: Chris Elliott The Washington Post
Category: TravelEmail: query-b83t@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: The Washington Post
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 September
Query:
I'm researching a story about the U.S. legacy airlines' recent
decision to rescind ticket change fees for domestic flights.
Some have declared that this is the beginning of the end of fees
in travel. I would love to hear from travelers, particularly
those who have some experience dealing with travel companies. Do
you think that the change fees are gone forever? Will airlines
and other companies remove other fees? Do you trust the airlines
when they say the fees are gone for good? From travel experts, I
would like to know if removing more fees is a sustainable move.
How can airlines, hotels, and other businesses continue to turn
a profit when a source of revenue, like fees, is gone? How
dependent is the travel industry on fees? Do you have any
specific insights (surveys, polls or other information) about
how much travel companies rely on fees? For companies that have
built their entire business model on fees, what's next? Will
fares rise?
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

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. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to 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
