If there's a magazine editor floating around here, perhaps you can answer this. I didn't check the freelancing board first, so if there's an answer already over there, many thanks to the person who points it out to me.
The university I work for hired a PR firm that specializes in placing articles about higher education in publications that are willing to run higher ed news. I looked at a pitch that the PR guy sent to a local magazine and it isn't exactly a query, there's no offer for us to write the article, it's just a "hey, look at this great thing, maybe you want to feature it."
Is this kind of pitch competing with freelancer queries? Does this kind of pitch get first consideration?
