Journalist search

In this article, we will go through how to search for journalists by name, job title, or bio. As well an how to search for journalists that work at a specific outlet.

You can search for journalists by:

You can make a 'free search', where you type your search into the search box and we will search the whole profile for the term.

Or you can filter the search using the tick boxes to only look for your term in the job title or bio for example.

Below we are searching for the word 'tech' in journalists job title or biography.

You can also filter the results to a specific outlet or domain authority.

For example, if you only want to see journalists from sites with a DA of 80 and above, you would filter on DA: 80+.

To find journalists who work at for example, the Dallas Observer - set the outlet filer to Dallas Observer.

Then press search, you don't need anything in the search box.

If you would like to filter to editors at Dallas Observer, you can put 'editor' into the search box and select 'Job Title', keeping the outlet filter on.

When using the outlet filter, you can search using the URL or site name.

If you're searching for an outlet by name but don't see the outlet you want appearing, try being more specific.

For example, if you search 'the sun' you will see the US version appear, but not the UK version. If you add UK onto the search, you see the UK outlet appear.

If you enter the URL and no outlet appears, the means we don't have the outlet in our system. In this case, you can contact us and we will update the database and add the outlet.

At the moment it is not possible to filter by location in the same way you can filter by outlet or DA (however this is coming very soon so watch this space!)

However you can add a location to your search and this will work as an effective 'filter'.

For example, these are the results if you search 'England tech journalist':

and these are the results if you search 'USA tech journalist':

You can also search for states and cities. If you want to get a complete list of tech journalists in the UK, I would search for 'England tech journalist', 'UK tech journalist', 'London tech journalist', 'Bristol tech journalist' etc.

There are the search operators you can currently use in the search.

When you enclose a term in double quotes (""), you will only see results containing those terms in the order you have written them.

if you search "tech journalist", you will only see results with this exact phrase.

You can use '-' in a search to remove

For example you could search sports journalist -football to return sports journalists who don't also mention football in their profile
