I don't consider Raw Story to be a fully legitimate news outlet. There have been instances where their stories have been factually incorrect or presented in a misleading way.
To pitch a story successfully to a news outlet, you need to do your research on the outlet's style and audience. Craft a catchy headline and a short, engaging summary. Also, include relevant sources and evidence to support your story.
The ideal time can vary. Generally, pitching during the weekdays, preferably in the morning, gives you a better chance. But it also depends on the news outlet's schedule and the nature of your story.
You can usually start by finding the contact information for the media outlet, like an email or phone number for their news desk. Then, clearly and concisely explain your story idea in an email or during a call.
Local newspapers or online news platforms in your area might be interested. For example, if you're in the US, some local papers like the New York Times or the LA Times could be options. You can usually find their contact details on their websites.
Kaiju novels often portray kaiju as gigantic and powerful beings. They are usually depicted as forces of nature that are difficult to control or defeat. For example, in 'Godzilla' novels, Godzilla is shown as a nearly indestructible creature with its atomic breath and massive size.
