PR outreach
shouldn't be this hard
We built JournalistDB because the existing options for finding journalist contacts were outdated, overpriced, and frustrating to use.
Why we built this
If you've ever tried to build a media list, you know the pain. Legacy databases charge thousands of dollars a year for stale data. Free alternatives give you a handful of contacts with no way to filter or export. And scraping LinkedIn yourself is a full-time job.
We thought there should be a modern, affordable way to find the right journalist for any story. So we built one. JournalistDB is a searchable directory of over 142,000 verified media contacts — reporters, editors, columnists, producers — across every beat and publication that matters.
The data is updated weekly. Emails are verified. And it costs a fraction of what the legacy tools charge.
Affordable
Pro access for a fraction of what legacy databases charge. No enterprise sales calls.
Fresh data
Updated weekly with verified emails. Not a static list from two years ago.
Actually searchable
Filter by beat, publication, location, industry, and journalist type. Export to CSV in one click.
The team
JournalistDB is built by a small, independent team with backgrounds in media, data, and product development. We're not a VC-backed startup trying to become a platform — we're building a focused tool that does one thing well.
We're based in the US and keep the team intentionally lean so we can keep prices low and move fast.
