Describe the ideal/nightmare pitch.

The ideal pitch is based on a good news hook. Events don’t make good news for example unless they’ve been organised to announce a particular programme or business deal - ‘Partner event in Ukraine’ is not newsworthy. ‘Partner event in Ukraine reveals new business opportunities for local agents’ is getting there! Pictures are also crucial – a news story with a good picture is much more likely to run than one without.
