How to Build a PR Media List

03/27/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A PR media list is a list of journalists, editors, bloggers, and other key influencers who may be relevant to your PR campaign. A well-built PR media list can help make your PR campaign successful by ensuring your messages are getting to the right people. Here are some steps you can follow to build a PR media list:

Identify Your Target Audience: Before you start building your media list, you need to make sure you know your target audience well. Think about who your target audience is and what media they read or follow.

Research relevant media: Once you have identified your target audience, you should research which media are relevant to them. Look for publications that have covered similar topics in the past and can reach the target audience of your PR campaign.

Gather Contacts: Once you have identified relevant media outlets, you need to gather contact details of the journalists and editors who work for those media outlets. Check media websites for editors' names or search for journalists on LinkedIn.

Make a list: When you have collected all the contact information, you can make a list. This list should include the journalists' names, their contact information, and the publications they work for.

Maintain your list: Make sure your media list stays current by updating regularly as journalists move or their contact information changes.

Personalize your outreach: When you're ready to launch your PR campaign, make sure to personalize your outreach. Use journalists' names in your emails and be aware of why you think your message is relevant to them and their audience.

A well constructed PR media list can be an essential part of your PR campaign. By following these steps, you can ensure your messages are being sent to the right people and your campaign will be successful.
