Journalist Hunt helps you get media attention by connecting you with over 100k+ journalists in one place. Stop pitching blindly, find the right journalists who care about your story, so you can land press mentions, build authority, and grow your business fast.
Getting your story in front of the right journalists is very hard. Manually searching through LinkedIn, X, media outlets, staff directories and other random platforms can take lots of hours of your time and still leave you with the incomplete or wrong data.
To solve this problem, we built Journalist Hunt: a comprehensive database of 100,000 journalists to feature your business.
We have 100,000 journalists live today, each with 40+ data points: • Name, role, seniority, outlet, journalist type • Beats, industries, what they cover and don’t • Bios, Blurbs, recent articles, total articles • Verified contacts (email, socials) • Outlet details (website, socials, founded year, location) • And more
You can filter by location, primary & secondary beats, title, outlet, industry, or format (print, podcast, video) and build outreach lead lists in minutes.
We first launched an early version about two years ago. We gained some traction, but users churned. Turns out, people really cared about the depth of data points. Instead of quitting, we rebuilt everything. Now we’re launching it out in stages: 100k live today, another 100k in a couple of weeks, and we'll continue until we hit at least 400k journalists across every industry.
Also, most journalist/media database tools cost thousands a year or more. We believe you shouldn’t have to pay that much to get good data, so we built Journalist Hunt to give nearly the same depth, but at a price that makes sense for smaller companies and teams.

The UI looks cool, and it's solving a great use case. Many times, I need to contact journalists, but I don't have their contact information.
The manual journalist research problem is real - we've spent countless hours trying to find the right contacts for product launches and usually end up with outdated emails or irrelevant beats.
How do you keep the contact data current? Journalists change outlets frequently and email addresses go stale pretty quickly. Most databases I've used have maybe 30-40% accuracy on contact info.
Also curious about the beat categorization. Does it distinguish between journalists who occasionally cover a topic versus those who specialize in it? Makes a big difference for pitch success rates.
This platform is amazing! Setting up my online store was quick and intuitive, even with no prior experience. The templates are professional, customization is easy, and the support team is super helpful. It’s made running my store so much simpler!
Find the right voices who care about your story, land press mentions, build authority, and grow your business fast. Media attention, made strategic.
Landing press isn’t just about sending more emails, it’s about finding the right fit. This is awesome!
This is such a powerful tool for startups and creators finding the right journalists is half the battle. Congrats on the launch!
Congratulations on the launch, Rashid!
Sounds like a tremendous time saver, especially for smaller teams handling PR in-house. Looking forward to trying Journalist Hunt. Good luck!
wow sounds interesting, we were looking for such source of media connections for PawChamp! going to check it out!
Congrats on the launch! How do you verify journalist emails to ensure they’re accurate?
Great!!! Journalist Hunt establishes a channel between a business or team and journalists. Does the platform have a recommendation function that can automatically recommend journalists that match companies based on their characteristics?
Rashid, this looks great! I have just signed up.
Curious: how is this different from the list of emails I can fetch from apollo.io? do journalists upload their contact details themselves?
Looks like a solid pick for founders trying to cut through cold outreach noise. Curated journalist lists, niche filters, and the whole flow feels built to save some serious time. Impressive!
Hi @rashid_khasanov Noticed a small bug on first visit as well as page refresh. There is a blank snackbar (toast) that pops up with only the error icon but no message (screenshot attached). Checked on desktop + mobile both. Rest everything looks good.
Hey Rashid! Do you have any results? E.g. how many brands/businesses successfully found the right journalist and articles were published thanks to this tool?
