How PressContact keeps the database relevant.
A working database isn't a one-time scrape — it's a continuous editorial process supported by software. PressContact pairs PR-trained editors with an AI monitoring layer so the contacts you unlock today reflect the journalists actually publishing today.
Curated by PR experts
Every journalist in the database is reviewed and tagged by editors who have worked in agency and in-house communications. Each contact is classified by outlet, beat, country, and language, so a search for automotive journalists in Germany returns reporters who actually cover automotive in German publications — not general business writers with a passing mention.
Maintained with AI
Our system continuously monitors new bylines across thousands of publications worldwide. When a journalist changes beat, moves to a new outlet, or stops publishing, the record is flagged for editorial review. The database updates on a weekly basis.
Verified at the point of contact
The moment a credit is spent to unlock a journalist's email, the address is verified for deliverability in real time. If verification fails, the credit is refunded automatically and the record is retired from the public database.
Features and benefits.
The product is built around how PR teams actually buy and use a media database — verified contacts, transparent per-contact pricing, no annual commitment.
Verified on unlock
Every email address is checked for deliverability the moment a credit is spent. If the address is invalid, the credit is automatically refunded.
Pay per contact
Pricing starts from $0.15 per journalist. No annual contracts, no per-seat fees, no automatic renewals.
Credits never expire
Purchased credits stay on your account until you use them, so you can top up only when you need to.
Coverage you can check
2,095 journalists across the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, spanning 12 beats including Technology, Business, Health and Music. Every list is public.

About PressContact.
PressContact was built to solve a problem PR professionals know well — media databases that look comprehensive on paper but fall apart in practice. Journalists move beats. Outlets shut down. Email addresses go stale. Annual subscriptions don't keep up.
We started PressContact to take the opposite approach: a database curated by people who have done PR work themselves, kept current by a system that watches the industry continuously, and priced so you only pay for what you actually use.
Today, PressContact is used by in-house PR teams, agencies, startups, and freelance consultants around the world to find the right journalist for the right story.
