Media Contact Database
Professional Journalist and Media Contact Database
Presswire’s Media Contact Database provides access to a large, carefully-maintained directory of journalists, editors, publications and media outlets worldwide. Outreach can be focused at regional, national or continent-wide level as required.
The database is used by organisations that need accurate media intelligence and dependable targeting rather than inflated contact numbers or outdated lists.
Coverage spans major global media markets including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Research, targeting and usable media intelligence
The Presswire Media Contact Database allows you to research journalists by sector, publication, location and editorial role.
You can use the database to:
All contacts are maintained with an emphasis on relevance, accuracy and usability.
Structured for precision rather than volume
Presswire’s Media Contact Database is structured to support precision outreach, not mass emailing.
This allows you to match your story to journalists who are genuinely likely to cover it and helps reduce wasted outreach.
Download the Media Contact Database subjects and categories
The Media Contact Database is organised using a detailed editorial taxonomy that reflects how journalists actually work.
The taxonomy covers a wide range of subject areas, industries and editorial beats and allows users to filter media contacts with precision at global, regional, national or continent-wide level.
Subjects include business, technology, finance, health, energy, politics, science, culture and sector-specific beats used by professional newsrooms.
To help customers understand the breadth and structure of the database, we provide access to the full list of subjects and categories used within the Media Contact Database.
This taxonomy is used consistently across the database and press release distribution services to support accurate targeting and relevant outreach.
