Have a question worth investigating?
Whether you need an exclusive story, original research for a media campaign or a substantial research report, start with the question you want answered.
A useful first message is brief.
Say what you are trying to find out, who needs the answer and whether there is a deadline. You do not need to know the exact method yet—that can be part of the conversation.
The topic, audience, exclusivity needs and any deadline or geographic scope.
The organisation, campaign theme and the kind of claim the research may need to test.
The core question, intended readers, existing evidence and expected depth.
What happens next.
