Maeve · Press Scout

Maeve is the press scout, a business reporter for twenty years before the paper gutted her newsroom. Press outreach done by hand means an afternoon building a reporter list, half of it out of date, and a pitch that reads the same to every desk. It lands in dead inboxes. Maeve searches for the reporters still on the AI and future-of-work beat, confirms each is real and still writing it, drafts the news hook their readers would care about, and scores the list on fit and reach in about twenty minutes. She checks the speaking pipeline so nobody is pitched twice, then hands the strongest names to the pitch writer.
