"Thanks for your hard work. I did get this interview on the Mike Koolidge show, which I guess is going to be broadcast later today to thousands of people? This kind of persistence is NOT something I could do on my own. So thanks for your hard work on it. That's the first win! Yay! Also I have the BBC interview setup for Thursday. So we'll see what happens then!"

Jack Rhysider, Host of Darknet Diaries podcast

"I've launched a number of projects that I look for press and often the most time consuming part is finding and researching relevant journalists. I was extremely please with how easy Press Hunt is to use. I had a whole list of journalists that I wanted to contact but was unable to find accurate emails and Press Hunt did the job. I would highly recommend it."

Lukas Bentel, Founder of Hello Velocity

"Press Hunt has a seemingly endless database and tons of little details on each journalist - feels like clearbit for PR. Rounded off with a simple UI, this product is brilliant for anyone trying to get their name out there to relevant journalists."

Will Jamieson, Founder of Yik Yak & The Q

FAQ

If our FAQ doesn't answer your questions, please reach out to us in our live chat in the bottom right.

What kind of journalists do you have in this database?

Press Hunt has hundreds of thousands of journalists that cover every field you can imagine: sports journalists, fashion journalists, tech journalists, local new reporters, startups, science, crypto, art, theater, etc. Our journalists cover everywhere from the USA to China and Europe to Australia––we have journalists on every continent except Antarctica.

What do I do with the journalist emails?

You can email each journalist one-by-one; or you can add them to your own media list, then export their emails to CSV. You can then take your CSV and upload to mass emailing software like MixMax or Reply.io.

What is a media list?

A media list is simply a list of journalists created for a specific purpose. If you’re announcing a new product launch, you can put together a list of a few hundred journalists in your field that you think will be interested in covering your launch (based on the writing interests tags and other data we’ve provided for you). When you launch, you can send them all emails!

Why can’t I see journalist emails?

Our basic package doesn’t come with access to journalist emails––just their social media links. If you’re on a plan that includes emails, and you don’t see some, it is likely because we don’t have emails on record for that journalist or media outlet. This can be due to many reasons, from GDPR or privacy regulations to them not having their email publicly accessible.

Where do you get these contacts from?

We’ve manually built and labeled a lot of the data. We’ve also used some data science tricks to scan the web and overlay relevant data to output a complete journalist profile.

Are these contacts legit?

Yes. Through our testing we’ve found that 80% of these emails are valid and still make it to the intended recipient. 20% of the emails are outdated due to journalists changing jobs. We’re constantly filtering those out though, so if you find some, please let us know.

How often do you update this database?

We update this journalist database usually daily to include the most recent contact information and labels.

What do the journalist tags represent?

Tags for each journalist represent what they’re likely to want to write about, based on what they’ve written about before, outlets they’ve written for, and their tweets.

Are there duplicate journalists?

Some journalists work for multiple outlets or blogs and have multiple contacts for each. in this case, we do have multiple records for a few journalists. We’re working on reducing the amount of duplicates however, so if you see some, please let us know in our live chat in the bottom right.
