Write a pitch to a journalist or editor. The publication and reporter (recent articles I read): [PUBLICATION_AND_REPORTER]. My story angle and why it matters now: [STORY_ANGLE]. Evidence (data, case, unique access, expert availability): [EVIDENCE]. My credentials and relationship to the topic: [MY_CREDENTIALS]. Embargo or exclusivity: [EMBARGO].

Follow this structure and length (about 120 to 150 words):
Subject: specific and newsworthy (not "Press release"), under 60 characters.
Line 1: refer to their recent article and connect it to my angle.
Lines 2 to 3: the story in two sentences with the key fact or number.
Line 4: why now, and what is new.
Line 5: what I can offer (data, interview, images, access), the availability, and the deadline.
Closing: thanks and an easy way to decline.

Return the pitch, three subject lines, a shorter version for social messaging where the reporter prefers it, a follow-up after 3 to 5 days (30 words), and a checklist: story is relevant to their beat, facts are accurate and sourced, a clear spokesperson, a press kit link, no attachments unless requested, respect for deadlines. Add what not to do: mass blasts, calling repeatedly, exaggeration, asking for approval before publication, or pushing sales messages. Mark claims needing proof as [ADD SOURCE]. Do not guess the reporter's preferences.

Subject: New data: 1 in 3 small-shop returns come from sizing errors
"Hi Maria, your piece last week on rising returns costs raised a question I can help with. We analyzed 18,000 returns from 60 small online shops and found that 34 percent were size-related, far above colour or quality issues [ADD SOURCE]. What's new: the pattern holds across clothing and footwear. I can offer the full dataset, an interview with our analyst, and two shop owners. Available any day this week. If this isn't for you, no problem. Sam, press@example.com"
Follow-up (30 words) after 4 days. Checklist: relevant to their beat, accurate, spokesperson ready.
