Journalist Hunt: a database of 340k+ journalists to get media coverage for your business. Filter by location, industry, tags, beats, and outlets to find the right ones in no time.
Figuring out which journalists might be interested in featuring your business and how to get connected with them can be a nightmare. All this data is spread out, and searching for them manually on Muck Rack, LinkedIn, and different media outlets can be a time-consuming and draining task.
We've been in your shoes and we understand how beneficial getting media coverage can be for growing your business, building brand awareness, and gaining consistent exposure.
We're a team of four who've successfully launched 7 database products, with 3 of them turning profitable. We've gained some experience and knowledge in helping our users save time and effort in getting connected with the right professionals efficiently.
Building Journalist Hunt took us over 6 months of hard work. We've collected and aggregated journalist data sets from different sources, and we were able to build a comprehensive database of 340,000 journalists. Our journalists are filtered by locations, journalist types, industries, tags, beats, media outlets and more. Plus, we provide their emails, phone numbers, and social media links.

Impressive tool! Journalist Hunt's location and industry filters help me target my pitches precisely. It's a must-have for any PR pro.
I used to spend hours searching for journalists. Now, Journalist Hunt's filters let me find the right ones in minutes. Time-saving and effective!
I'm impressed by the sheer number of journalists this product can help you find. What kind of filtering options are available to quickly target the right contacts? What specific data points can I search for? #JournalistHunt
Journalist Hunt is a game-changer for startups! With 340k+ journalists at your fingertips, finding the perfect media match for your business has never been easier.
Cool idea! Are you also thinking of a 2-sided marketplace model connecting users with journalists within your platform? And other tooling around PR?
Btw, maybe consider adding the preview of the data in the website. I see that you have it in a screenshot here in PH but not in website. It might help people see what they'd get if they end up buying the membership.
This is a really awesome tool to have( I worked for one of the biggest NYC based journalist / content websites, I wish this existed a long time back)
Since I don't see signing up as a journalist option, Do you web crawl to get the journalist information or do the journalist give permission to be listed on your site and how they get compensated?
If I contact a journalist listed on your site ( from your exported lead), wouldn't they be surprised?
Never thought of trying PR stuff.
Do you also provide some blogs etc. on where to target for a type of product. Some success stories etc.?
