Links to freelance journalist profiles

Several clients have told me Response Source is not only a great way to get media coverage leads but is also useful for keeping tabs on what the freelance journalist community is up to.

We also have nearly 5,000 freelance journalists maintaining detailed profiles in our Freelance Journalist Directory. Many of these journalists use Response Source for sourcing editorial contributions from the PR community.

So we've brought these two things together. Response Source emails from members of the Freelance Journalist Directory now include a link to each journalist's public profile on www.journalistdirectory.com (see mine).

The benefit is being able to rapidly view valuable background material on the journalist making an enquiry, including specialist areas covered, biography and picture (if available).

Response Source users don’t need a subscription to the Freelance Journalist Directory to view the profile links from Response Source enquiries (though if you do have a subscription you will be able to see additional information and be able to use the full search function).

We’ve had some fantastic feedback on this already - with one person describing it as a ‘great innovation’.

As ever we are always looking to enhance our services and like to do this based on user feedback so if you have any ideas or comments please let us know.
