Media Database

Pitch journalists who are real, reachable and still writing.

Most media lists are full of people who left their outlet years ago. Ours checks itself every day, so your pitch lands in an inbox someone actually reads.

Stop pitching into silence.

The same curated list our members use to land their coverage, kept fresh automatically.

A list you can trust.

Curated UK and US journalists, and nothing goes in without passing our quality gate: a real person, at a real outlet, with a working email.

Never pitch a dead inbox again.

Every day the database re-checks its oldest records, and flags dead or mistyped emails in red before you waste a pitch on them.

Know who's active at a glance.

A traffic-light dot on every journalist shows whether they're active, need checking or have a dead email. One click re-checks any contact live.

See what they're writing right now.

A live news feed on every profile shows their latest articles, so you know they're still working and what they're covering.

Find the people who cover your world.

Filter by name, outlet, beat, topic or country, and save the searches you use most.

Find who's already asked for someone like you.

Search real media requests by keyword to see which journalists have looked for sources on your topic.

Hear what they want in their own words.

Where we've filmed a journalist for a Pressflow Q&A, their profile links straight to the video, so you know what they want before you pitch.

Pitch in one click.

Email a journalist straight from their profile, or add them to a list for a campaign.

Your pitch deserves a real inbox.

It's not you. It's the list.

Buy a media list off the shelf and a good chunk of it is journalists who moved on long ago, at email addresses nobody reads. You send your pitch, hear nothing back, and decide PR doesn't work for you.

Most of the time, your pitch was fine. It just went to someone who was never going to see it.

Our database keeps itself up to date, and every check a member runs keeps it fresher for everyone else. So what you see is who's writing this week, not whoever was there when the list was made.

From search to sent in minutes
