KEY QUESTION: What are media contacts? Media contacts are the people you select when building your media contacts list. These contacts can be tied to publications, broadcast outlets, web sites, or even be key influencers. Building a specific media contact list lets you better target those who might be interested in using your content. A Media Contacts Database is a platform that lets you research, build, save, and distribute your stories or information to media outlets and influencers, improving earned media exposure.
