Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 23 December
Query:
Hello!
With resolution season fast approaching, I'm working on a blog
article on everything weight loss. I need help from Registered
Dietitians, Bariatric Physicians, or General practitioners to
answer several questions on the topic.
Some of the questions include: How many calories should you eat
for weight loss? How to calculate a calorie deficit? What's the
best type of exercise for weight loss? Is there such a thing as
the perfect diet for weight loss? Will eating at night make you
fat? Does eating breakfast boost your metabolism? Does
starvation mode exist? Is a calorie deficit the only actual way
to lose fat?
So on and so forth.
I think the best way to go about this is to hold interviews. So,
please reach out with your credentials if you're willing to
participate and we can coordinate a time after the holidays to
connect.
Thank you so much!
Requirements:

Pain Is COVID," so anything under that realm is helpful.
Questions: Is back pain a common COVID symptom? How common is
it? Is it a symptom people are likely to have as soon as they
get the virus, in the middle of their illness, long-term or a
combination of these? Is it likely to be the only symptom
someone may have? If not, what other symptoms can people expect
alongside it? Is there anyway to tell if the back pain you're
having is specifically COVID? Is COVID back pain located to a
specific side? Or does it feel a certain way? Burning, aching,
stinging, etc.? When should you talk to your doctor about
potentially having COVID if you experience back pain? What could
your back pain be if not COVID? What else can you say about
COVID + back pain?

Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
How To Create A Fantastic Retail or E-tail Experience That Keeps
Bringing Customers Back For More Full description here
https://bit.ly/3qUdfUH
For the past decade we have witnessed the so called "Retail
Apocalypse". With huge retail players like Amazon, one of the
best ways for a retail brand to survive is by offering an
unparalleled retail experience that a customer can't get
anywhere else. But what exactly must you do to create such a
great experience? How does a retail outlet create brand loyalty
today?
We would like to interview CEOs, executives and business leaders
of retail companies who can talk from their experience about
'How To Create A Fantastic Retail or E-tail Experience That

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 December
Query:
I am a freelance writer developing a journal feature article
about a possible insurance industry practice to monitor medical
claims to cut back on underutilization by patients of their
insurance plans and I need your assistance.
If this is correct, employees can choose to let Prudential
Insurance or other insurance companies who follow this practice
to monitor medical claims to ensure that a patient is making the
most of their policy, especially one who is afflicted with and
has just been informed by their doctors that they have a serious
illness.
The practice points to use of artificial intelligence to scale
back on paperwork for employees who have insurance claims.
Paperwork is one of the major reasons for patient insurance
policy underutilization.
I would like to learn as much as possible about this practice
for an article. To do this, I need to speak to an insurance
industry professional or expert. I need to ask you questions
about this trend and your responses would enrich my article.
My questions are as follows:
1)Do insurance companies collaborate with health insurance firms
directly to get medical claim records or do they have a partner
(3rd party) that specializes in this?
2) Do firms automatically pay supplemental claims or do they
just notify employees that they are eligible to file a claim?
3) How do employees opt-in? Is this part of open enrollment or a
separate process?
4) Anecdotally, how useful or successful has the new service
been? Do employees like the service and have they found it
beneficial?
5) Are there any additional costs to employers or employees?
Would you kindly consent to replying to my questions?
Your replies would be strictly on background and off the record.
This is because my article is more oriented towards learning
about and explaining a practice to an audience than it is about
using expert or authoritative quotes.
I thank you in advance for assisting me with my written piece
and I anticipate and appreciate your responses."

I'm writing an article for USA Today about sustainability in
business, and how it has evolved from being a business cost to a
business driver. Twenty years ago, being "green" was considered
an expense. It cost money. Now, environmental responsibility
often is an asset. It actually makes companies money and earns
them business. This article will profile both large corporations
and small businesses that have succeeded by leaning in to
sustainability, and will highlight the best practices that they
have employed in order to be successful and sustainable at the
same time. Note: Deadline listed is deadline for accepting
pitches. Interviews will take place after the holiday. Thank you!

Query:
Working ahead an looking for brief comments on the following
questions for Career Now columns set to run in early January:
1. For as long as I can remember, a college degree has been
touted as the ticket to a bright career future. The trades were
never (or at least hardly ever) mentioned in the list of
post-high school options. But that appears to be changing,
albeit slowly. Why should young people (and their parents)
consider blue collar/trade industry careers? And what are some
good options?
2. There are so many people whose jobs have been significantly
impacted by the pandemic. Many lost jobs and relied on
unemployment, some quit for myriad reasons (safety issues, to
care for loved ones), some turned to gig work to survive, while
others took on more/different responsibilities to help keep
their companies afloat. How can anyone whose job situation
radically changed during 2020 handle what in normal times would
appear negatives when updating their LinkedIn profile? How much
explanation is warranted?

Category: Entertainment and MediaEmail: query-bpaz@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: PBS Digital Studios
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 December
Query:
How Jazz and Hip-Hop Cross Pollinate Today Some say that scat
singing in jazz is an early form of the rhythmic rapping found
in hip-hop. Early hip-hop jams were created by extending the
break in jazz and funk records. Even though jazz was influential
in the formation of hip-hop, there's always been a shared
exchange of influence between the two genres. Jazz artists like
Herbie Hancock took influence from hip-hop in songs like Rockit.
As saxophonist Kamasi Washington puts it, "we've now got a whole
generation of jazz musicians who've been brought up with
hip-hop." Watch our show on www.youtube.com/soundfieldpbs
Requirements:
Sound Field is looking for a guest interview to talk about the
ways hip-hop and jazz influence each other. We are also looking

Query:
For a piece pegged to "Audrey," the upcoming documentary on
Audrey Hepburn, I would like to interview pop culture experts
who can speak to her legacy within the frame of being "America's
Sweetheart."
As the film shows, Hepburn's idol status masked her deep-rooted
insecurities, including feeling a lack of love in her life,
particularly from the men she loved including her father. She
eventually faded out of the spotlight to get back to her sense
of self and spend time with family.
I'd love to hear from pop culture experts and those who've
studied Hepburn about female celebrities like her and the
overwhelming burden of being "America's Sweetheart," and gaining
an identity and idolatry that only exacerbated their feelings of
inadequacy. Do female celebrities carry a heavier weight in
this right? What does it mean to achieve this level of
admiration and not be fulfilled personally? Was Hepburn's
decision to step out of the limelight the only way to overcome
this?
Requirements:
Must be a pop culture expert or scholar with an understanding of
who Audrey Hepburn was and her legacy.

the consumer side, what are some of the innovations we will see?
What about the impact of smartphones like the iPhone? On the
enterprise/business side, what will we see? What about smart
factories? Smart cities?
Requirements:
I'm looking for expert commentary.

Hi There!
Gabrielle Kassel here! I'm bopping by and see if any ob/gyn's,
pelvic floor therapists, or vaginal bleachers might be
interested in being interviewed for a piece I'm working on for
Healthline about vaginal bleaching.
(Note: The story is actually about vulvar bleaching, but when
people are looking for ways to lighten their vulva, they
typically search for vaginal bleaching).
Take a peak below to find my specific questions, and please let
me know if she's interested.
Healthline You Shouldn't Get Your Vaginal Area Bleached -- But
If You Want to Do It Anyway, Read This Questions 1. Okay... so
what IS vaginal bleaching exactly? What is it supposed to
achieve? 2. How is it typically done? 3. Do you usually use
bleach or is it done with creams? Laser treatment? Some wacky
at-home bleaching kits??? 4. Anything you would say to someone
who has anxiety about having too-dark vagina/vulva/thighs? 5.
Is it normal to have a darker labia than rest of your skin? Is
it normal for your labia skin to get darker as you age? Is there
anything unhealthy about these slightly darker spots? 6. Is
vaginal bleaching safe? What are some side effects someone might
encounter? 7. After we tell folks NOT to do this, we do want to
give them advice on how to do it as safely as possible if they
are set on lightening their labia. So I'd love to ask: Is there
a procedure that is safer compared to others?
Requirements:
ob/gyn's, pelvic floor therapists, or vaginal bleachers

I'm working on a piece for family caregivers and older adults

Specifically, I'd like insight from facility and family
caregivers as well as geriatric health care providers on the

physical activity and other healthy habits in general + physical
activities they enjoy specifically:

How to explore that - who to talk to, what to ask, what to check
out at the property.
Apps and tech that might make it easier for older adults to
maintain healthy habits while they're living in an assisted
