The co-pilot works from what journalists have published lately — surfacing who's actively writing on your topic now, with outlet, beat, and recent headlines for context.
Featured drafts outreach that references each reporter's actual coverage and offers one specific story. You edit and send from your own inbox.
The list is a means. The placement is the point.
90 days
Lists are built from recent bylines, not job titles imported years ago. If a reporter changed beats last quarter, your list already knows.
Context
Outlet, beat, and latest headlines attach to every name — so pitches open with the reporter's own work instead of a cold intro.
Both sides
Featured also operates HARO and Connectively — so alongside outbound pitching, you see when journalists on your beat are actively asking for sources.
$0 to start
Media list building is included in every Featured plan, free to start — not gated behind an annual enterprise seat license.
The Find Journalists workflow watches for new writers covering your beat and adds them to a running list, delivered to Slack or email.

Ask Featured for writers covering your topic — “find journalists who cover fleet electrification” — and it returns reporters actively on that beat, with outlet and recent headlines. That recency matters: a list built from last quarter's bylines outperforms a static database of job titles, because beats change constantly.
Describe the story you're telling and who should care. Featured assembles the list — journalists, outlets, beats, recent work — in one chat, and you refine it conversationally: “drop the nationals, add trade press,” “only writers who've covered competitors.” Minutes, not a research afternoon.
One story, one reason it's for them, one reason it's now. Reference the reporter's recent coverage in the first line, offer something concrete — data, access, a strong POV — and stop. Under 120 words wins. Less is more in modern outreach: journalists reward relevance, not volume.
Traditional media databases sell you a big contact directory behind an annual enterprise contract. Featured builds targeted lists on demand from recent coverage, attaches context for the pitch, drafts the outreach — and is free to start, with paid plans from $39/month. Plenty of teams run both; Featured is where the pitch actually gets written.
Featured finds who to pitch and drafts the outreach; you review and send, so every message goes out under your name with your judgment applied. That human-in-the-loop step is deliberate — journalists increasingly filter automated outreach, and your credibility is worth protecting.
Media list building and journalist pitching are included in every Featured plan. Free to start; $39/month (Lite) or $79/month (Pro, billed annually) as usage grows. Every plan includes every feature — only usage scales.
Pair pitching with Media Monitoring: Featured catches the moment a story mentioning you or your brand publishes, so you can thank the reporter, share the piece, and log the win — and the same monitoring shows which pitches convert over time.
Founders announcing news without an agency, in-house comms teams maintaining beat lists across products and regions, and agencies refreshing client media lists every quarter. SEO and GEO teams use it too — mentions and quotes in journalists' articles are the raw material AI assistants cite.
Yes — paste a name or a story link and ask what they cover, what they've written lately, and what angle would fit. Pitches informed by a reporter's actual work are the ones that get replies; Featured makes that research a 30-second step instead of a rabbit hole.
Ask Featured for the journalists on your beat and have a referenced, ready-to-edit pitch in minutes. Free to start.
