1) Summary: Journalist looking for expert quotes on COVID spread

Name: Allie Hogan Best Life Online

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-brwa@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Best Life Online

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 12 January

Query:

Hi all! I'm writing about a study from Yale that found that
closing restaurants, gyms, and parks, and beaches lowered the
fatality rate of COVID. The researchers noted their surprise due
to the studies that show outdoor transmission is much lower. Why
could closing outdoor spaces lead to lower fatality rates in
COVID even with low outdoor transmission? The researchers note
people socializing in these spaces. I'd love to hear more on
that theory as well as some others. I look forward to hearing
your thoughts!

2) Summary: Nurses' attitudes towards the COVID vaccine

Name: Elizabeth Yuko Aspen University Magazine

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-brx4@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Aspen University Magazine

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 13 January

Query:

I'm working on an article for the Aspen University magazine (the
audience is nursing students and nurses) on nurses and their
relationship to the COVID vaccines. Part of this involves
hearing directly from nurses on their own experiences
with/thoughts on the vaccine and why they feel that way --
whether they've already received it, are still waiting to get
it, are hesitant to get it, or refuse to get vaccinated.

Requirements:

Looking to hear from nurses (RNs or higher) working in the
United States (but aren't based on the East Coast) about their
attitude towards the Covid vaccine (excited, hesitant, refuse to
get it, not thrilled but doing it anyway, etc.) Representing all
perspectives.

Given the sensitive subject matter, any nurses who wish to
comment for this article may do so anonymously (leaving out both
their name and hospital affiliation) and simply provide the
city/town of their medical facility.

If you're interested in commenting, please get in touch with
your location (city/state) and a line or two describing your
opinion on the Covid vaccine. At this point, I'm looking for
nurses who are not located on the East Coast. I'll follow up
with those who are a fit. Thank you!

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 15 January

Query:

Did you seriously consider suicide due to depression and
feelings of helplessness during lockdowns and other fallouts
from the pandemic - but then changed your mind and are very
thankful that you made this decision? I'd like to post your
story on my site, scarysymptoms.com. There is much content out
there on how the pandemic has triggered suicides and attempts,
but there isn't much in the way of people who came very close to
ending their lives and even made preparations, but then they
abandoned the idea and have since developed a greater
appreciation for life. If this describes you, I look forward to
hearing from you. If you've written a relevant book or blog, I
will link back to its page.

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-brwj@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Best Life Online

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 12 January

Query:

On their website, the CDC says they do not recommend six
different types of masks: Masks that do not fit properly (large

are hard to breathe through (such as plastic or leather); Masks
made from loosely woven fabric or that are knitted, i.e.,
fabrics that let light pass through; Masks with one layer; Masks
with exhalation valves or vents; Wearing a scarf/ski mask as a
mask.

You can choose to answer the some of these questions for all six
types of masks or just some of them: Why does the CDC advise
against this mask? How does it not help stop the spread of
COVID? Does it help further the spread of COVID? How? Is this
mask dangerous? Why does the material of your mask matter? Why
does the fit of your mask matter? Why are scarves/ski masks not
considered masks? Can you still wear them? Why are valves bad
for masks? Is there anything else you can say about these
non-recommended CDC masks?

47) Summary: Need experts for story: Why home sellers aren't as high on iBuyers today

Name: Erik Martin CTW Features

Category: General

Email: query-brvm@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CTW Features

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 15 January

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview iBuying experts, housing professionals, mortgage
lending experts, real estate faculty, real estate
agents/Realtors, real estate attorneys, and other professionals
for the following story:

Sellers aren't as high on iBuyers: Here's why. Redfin recently
reported (details at
https://www.redfin.com/news/ibuyer-real-estate-q3-2020/) that
the nation's top iBuyers (real estate companies that purchase
houses from homeowners in quick, cash transactions by using
algorithms to evaluate a property's worth based on comparable
market data) purchased about 1,800 homes in the third quarter,
or 0.2% of homes that sold across the 418 U.S. metros tracked by
Redfin. That's down nearly 80% from a year earlier, as iBuyers
slowly ramped up business following a temporary shutdown at the
start of the coronavirus pandemic. The slowdown in iBuying comes
as the rest of the real estate market is red hot, with home
prices rising 15% nationally and pending sales up twice as much.
The hotter the market, the less attractive it is for home
sellers to let an iBuying company take a cut of the sale, many
experts believe. This piece will share the relevant findings and
examine why iBuying is on the downswing, with predictions for
what to expect in the future, and tips for sellers as to what to
consider carefully before choosing an iBuyer vs. traditional
sale.

I can only accept written responses (full-sentences that I can
use as quotes) via email to the following questions. My deadline
is noon central, Friday, January 15, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
any of the previously mentioned report findings? 2. Why do you
believe that sellers aren't as high on or eager about iBuyers?
What factors are behind this trend? 3. What would need to happen
for iBuying to pick up steam again and attract more sellers? 4.
What are the pros and cons of selling your home to an iBuyer
company? Are there more cons today than pros for many sellers?
5. What should sellers consider carefully or even avoid before
committing to selling their home to an iBuyer? 6. What advice
would you give to prospective sellers who are on the fence about
whether or not to sell to an iBuyer today? 7. Any other
thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

furnish, that non--self-employed individuals don't have to
bother with? 4. Is it also harder for self-employed individuals
to qualify for lower interest rates than employees? 5. What
detailed tips do you recommend to self-employed readers to
improve their chances of qualifying for in securing a mortgage
loan as well as being eligible for the lowest interest rates
possible? What can/should they be doing? 6. Any other thoughts,

Media Outlet: Communications of the ACM

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 19 January

Query:

In December 2020, FireEye discovered the SolarWinds hack that
affected some 250 U.S. government agencies and enterprises
worldwide. The Russian hacker group Cozy Bear a.k.a APT29,
launched the continuous attack in March 2020 through the
Sunburst Trojan they planted inside the SolarWinds Orion network
monitoring software. APT29 achieved nine months of dwell time
inside networks using the SolarWinds Orion network monitoring
product. Experts are debating the fallout of intrusions,
reported and unreported. For example, the Sunburst Trojan let
APT29 usurp authority over privileged administrator accounts at
Microsoft. Microsoft reported that the hackers could view
Microsoft source code, though they could not alter it. Experts
say the exposure could lead to attacks on Microsoft software
globally. However, Microsoft denies that viewing the source code
alone could lead to an increased risk. The cybersecurity
industry agrees that the SolarWinds hack exposed many
enterprises since SolarWinds boasts 300,000 customers worldwide.
We'll see more breaches due to the reconnaissance and
infestation of enterprise systems through the SolarWinds
vulnerability. I will dissect the hack and how it happened,
covering the potential fallout as supported by the experts.
Sources can include CISOs at affected or potentially affected
companies and cybersecurity experts, including cybersecurity
companies.

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 January

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 12 January

Query:

With the new stimulus package, the government will no longer be
covering COVID-related leave. It is now left to employers to
decide how they will compensate employees who contract the

doing just that.

What was the benefit that was offered by the CARES Act that has
not been renewed
(https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-employee-paid-leave)

What are rules in place regarding the firing of people with
COVID-19?

What is the tax break offered in new stimulus?

A few possible things to highlight: Tax break offered in new
stimulus, ensuring a safe workplace, establishing goodwill,
legal considerations - can an employer legally require an
employee to stay home if they have COVID?

Requirements:

Attorney, employment attorney
