The Star is very selective about what they cover as they receive millions of invites each day. So you really need to find an interesting angle. It’s also difficult to re-pitch especially to Metro desk, as you the editors are often busy and it will take lots of persistence and pserverence to pitch directly. However, if they decide not to cover, its very difficult to change the editors mind, unless you can re-angle your story. For MStar (Malay Sunday Insertion), please ask Mr Rozaid, the editor. Check after 5.30 pm. If it’s not in the assignment list, you can re-pitch again to the editor. Please ask for editor, Azmi Tarmizi. It is very difficult to get through. Email works better. Call after 8.30pm to check whether they will cover your event or not. Call after 4pm to check whether they will cover your event or not. If its not in the assignment list, you can re-pitch again to the editor, please ask for Mr Ishun, the editor.
