Fast Pitch events give reporters the opportunity to outsource their lead gathering process, collecting multiple pre-vetted story ideas and experts in a short video meeting. Reporters tell us a topic they plan to write about, and we turn to our member network of over 400 organizations to find the resources they need.

Would you like to expand the scope of your search to find new sources? Are you working on a book, documentary, feature story, or other project and need a broad range of views and experts? Are you traveling to a foreign country for a research trip and need advice on where to go and who to meet?

This is a new tool designed to be flexible to your specific interests.

Each Newswise member is limited to 90 seconds to pitch their story, and the reporter has unlimited time to ask questions and engage with the source. If the story is a good fit, the reporter can then follow up by phone and email. One reporter told us, "you saved me maybe 4 weeks of heavy lifting." Try it and see for yourself!
