It is important that you aim to make professional contact with editors and journalists. Before making contact, thoroughly research the editors or journalists and make sure your topic fits their areas of interest. Write a short, concise email that gets to the heart of your idea, with a brief summary and a link to more information or a reference. Be honest, authentic and professional, and make sure you're addressing the right person. When you receive a response, be open to questions and suggestions and be willing to adapt your idea.
