JournoFinder had made it easier to search our database of journalists.
You can search for journalists by:
Name (e.g. "John Smith")
Job title (e.g. "tech journalist")
Bio details (e.g. "covers football")
Outlet or company (e.g. "New York Post")
Location (e.g. "England" or "London")
You can make a 'free search' which mean you just type in your search 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.
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+.
The domain authority is data is from Moz.
Outlet filtering
When using the outlet search, 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.
A note on location
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.
Search operators
There are the search operators you can currently use in the search.
Phrase search ("")
When you enclose a term in double quotes (""), you will only see results containing those terms in the order you have written them.
For example if you searched tech journalist with no quotation marks, you will also see results that contain technology journalist, or tech reporter.
if you search "tech journalist", you will only see results with this exact phrase.
Negative search (-)
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
