JournoFinder is a web-based media database and PR toolkit that helps public relations professionals find journalists, build media lists and send pitches. The company says its database holds over 1,000,000 media contacts with verified data, and it positions the product as a lower-cost alternative to enterprise databases that it describes as too expensive, bloated or inaccurate.
Beyond search, the platform includes an AI agent, email outreach sent from a user's own mailbox, reactive PR alerts, journalist request alerts, and article and outlet search. It is also available as a connector in Claude and ChatGPT. Co-founders Sacha Fournier and Veronica Fletcher lead development and customer success respectively.
The AI agent takes a plain-language request, such as a launch aimed at US and UK media. It vets each journalist for beat, reach and impact, uses the platform's search and discovery tools, and builds the list in real time. Users refine the result by typing another sentence, either broad or specific, rather than adjusting filters by hand.
Reactive PR alerts work from a client's domain. The system learns the client's territory from their real press coverage, watches trending stories in the US and UK around the clock, and alerts the user by Slack or email only when there is a credible angle. Each alert can include past reactive plays and a list of journalists covering the story.
Journalist search lets users combine topics and filter by outlet, job title, location, language, impact, scope, type and story type, including local and regional lists and the full newsroom. A live news search covers billions of articles with journalist contact details overlaid, which the site recommends for reactive PR. Article search shows who covered a story and a journalist's article history.
Outlet search surfaces publications by niche and level, with metrics such as domain authority and visitors. Bulk URL upload finds contacts for any article, even when the journalist is not in the database. Lists update as journalists change roles and export in one click. Journalist request alerts and team sharing complete the set.
