What is a media inquiry?

03/07/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A media inquiry is a request from a journalist to an individual, organization or company for information, expert opinion or comment on a specific topic or event. Media requests can be made by email, phone, fax or via social media.

Journalists can submit media requests when they need information or expert opinions to write a story or article. They can also ask for interviews or commentary on current events or issues. Media requests can come from a variety of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, broadcast or online media.

As the recipient of a media request, you should carefully consider whether and how to respond to the request. It is important to respond quickly and willingly share information that is relevant and useful. On the other hand, however, you should also keep your own interests and needs in mind, especially when confidential or business-critical information is involved. It is often advisable to have a clear agreement on the use and publication of information in advance to avoid misunderstandings or legal problems.
