Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b8kw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Zenger News

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 10 September

Query:

I'm writing about the rioting and looting that have been taking
place and the assumption many have that insurance will cover the
losses. I'll be examining what degree of coverage businesses
typically have for looting and rioting, whether many small
businesses have such coverage, the degree of coverage, whether
any major carriers are paying out significant claims, how much
would actually be covered, what techniques carriers are
using/might use to minimize payouts, the amount of time it takes
a business to get compensation, what happens to rates, and
historically what has happened in such situations (areas that
have seen destructive rioting in the past and how long it took
for businesses to recover). To these ends, I'd like to speak
with experts in insurance coverage and practices,
representatives of insurance carriers,
historians/economists/other academics who can address insurance
issues and also past recoveries, and small business and
commercial property owners who have been adversely affected by
the recent events.

Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new interview

Cybersecurity

Full description here https://bit.ly/2GkbPjv

We live in a world where data breaches and ransomware have

company need to tighten up their approach to Data privacy and
Cybersecurity? What are the new tools that are coming around the
corner? What are the new threats that companies should be aware

73) Summary: Warehouse Automation Technology - Specifically Unloading and Loading Trucks & Loading Dock Tech

Name: Christopher Steiner Forbes

Category: High Tech

Email: query-b8de@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 10 September

Query:

Warehouses become more automated every single day, with the bots
whizzing around at Amazon's warehouses to palette-ready bots
that rove factory floors. One of the last bastions of pure human
labor at warehouses is on the loading docks. When a truck rolls
in, it's still humans that get most cargo off of it. Some
industries with large items and more regularly-shaped cargo can
be automated more easily. But others, such as CPG, seem harder
to automate. The question we're looking to answer: where are
those technologies for unloading/loading irregular items now,
and when will they become standard on the loading docks of
tomorrow? When do bots begin to replace humans here--where is it
happening already?

Requirements:

We'd prefer somebody with current experience in the automation
space around warehousing/supply chain and technology. Sources
who can cite current installations and specific times where they
feel this technology will hit a tipping point will be given
priority. Thank you!

In a trend anyone could have seen coming, downloads of fitness

UK

98) Summary: What is the long term future for remote working?

Name: Alex McCord Forbes

Category: UK

Email: query-b8kz@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 AM EST - 10 September

Query:

Interested to hear from UK business leaders with more than 10
employees who've been 100% remote during lockdown.

What do you think about your people working remotely for the
long term? Really want to hear views from all sides and
industries.

What are your plans for the return to work? Are you fine about
your teams being 100% remote, or do you want them back in the
office asap? Are you worried that your tech infrastructure isn't
good enough?

Are you concerned that employees will abuse their new freedom?
Will you pay your remote employees the going rate for where they
leave, or keep pay the same?

Requirements:

Please keep responses to under 200 words and include the
spokesperson's name (pronouns also helpful), job title, company
name and company website link.

While I do read all responses, I won't be able to reply to them
all. This is for a Forbes contributor column. Thanks!
