Open in FeaturedThree steps between you and your next placement.
Tell Featured what you're an expert in — “find journalist requests about employee retention” — the way you'd say it out loud. No boolean strings, no filters to learn.
The co-pilot scans requests from HARO's three daily editions, Connectively's live feed, Substack, X, and LinkedIn, and surfaces the queries that fit your expertise — sorted by deadline.
Featured drafts a response in your voice. You review, edit, and send — and your quote lands in the story, usually with your name, title, and company.

Journalist requests are queries posted by reporters, editors, and podcast hosts who need expert sources for stories they're actively writing — a journalist covering a data breach might need a CISO, a personal finance writer might need a CFP. Answer well and you get quoted, usually with your name, title, and company. Most requests are posted through platforms like HARO and Connectively, both owned and operated by Featured.
Yes. Featured acquired HARO from Cision in April 2025 and returned it to daily email delivery — morning, afternoon, and evening editions. HARO sent more than 100 million emails to sources over the last year, and an expert connects with a publisher every 6 seconds across Featured's platforms. HARO remains free for journalists and sources.
From HARO's three daily editions, Connectively's live request feed, and source requests posted on Substack, X, and LinkedIn. Because Featured operates HARO and Connectively, requests appear as soon as they're approved — you're not waiting on a third-party scrape.
Ask Featured to find requests in your area of expertise, pick one, and have the co-pilot draft a response in your voice — your real credentials, one clear insight, and a quotable line. You review and send. Strong responses are helpful, authentic, relevant, and on time: they answer the actual question, arrive before deadline, and skip the sales pitch.
HARO's email editions send every request in your categories three times a day — and staying subscribed is worth it. Featured adds the layer on top: it matches requests to your specific expertise across all sources, sorts by deadline, drafts your response, and can alert you through a workflow the moment something relevant appears.
Fully automated pitches underperform. Roughly one in five pitches sent through HARO is now 100% AI-generated, and many journalists filter them out. Featured is built as a co-pilot, not an autopilot: it structures your real expertise and drafts in your voice, and you review every word before it sends. Your experience is the product — Featured just helps you ship it faster.
Featured is free to start — the Free plan includes Featured Chat, journalist request matching, and 2–3 media opportunities a week. Paid plans are $39/month (Lite) and $79/month (Pro, billed annually), and every plan includes every feature; only usage scales. HARO itself remains free by email.
Faster than any other PR channel — reporters posting requests are on deadline, often publishing within days. It's common to see a first placement within a week or two of consistent responding. Bylines and podcasts take longer; journalist requests are where most people get their first win.
Founders and executives building credibility, subject-matter experts who want their knowledge cited, in-house comms teams filling the top of the coverage funnel, and PR agencies answering requests across a client roster. SEO teams use them too — quotes in published articles are earned mentions that AI assistants read and cite.
Yes. Ask Featured to find recent mentions of your name or brand, or pair this feature with Media Monitoring so every story that quotes you is caught automatically and delivered to Slack or email.
