In need of media coverage for your brand, client or research? Ransacking the #JournoRequest hashtag for asks from UK journalists might seem like a quick solution for finding contacts, but here are six reasons why you should give the ResponseSource Journalist Enquiry Service<\/a> a try instead\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Requests come straight through to your inbox<\/span><\/strong>
\nNo searching required \u2013 relevant requests from UK journalists looking for contributions for their upcoming pieces (whether products for review, expert comment, statistics or survey results) are sent directly to the inboxes of Journalist Enquiry Service subscribers. And how often requests come through is up to you \u2013 sign up for a steady stream of requests as they\u2019re released, or a daily digest of enquiries you might be able to help with.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll receive all the details you need<\/span><\/strong>
\nSometimes 140 characters just aren\u2019t going to tell you everything you need to help a journalist fill and finish their feature; you need to know exactly what they want, and when for. While you won\u2019t want to read through an enquiry that\u2019s the same length as the article the journalist is writing (nobody has time for that \u2013 certainly not the journalist), the Journalist Enquiry Form has enough space for the media professionals using it to be clear on what they want.<\/p>\n

\"Screengrab<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find which publication they\u2019re writing for, when the piece is likely to be published and more.<\/p>\n

3. You can filter requests so they\u2019re relevant to your specific sector<\/span><\/strong>
\n#JournoRequests is a busy hashtag filled with enquiries from journalists writing across almost any sector you can imagine \u2013 that\u2019s a very noisy place to navigate when you need to find something useful for you, fast. The Journalist Enquiry Service, in comparison, requires journalists to target their requests to the sectors they\u2019re writing about, right from the get-go.<\/p>\n

\"Journalist<\/p>\n

Working in the Home & Garden comms space? The service has a category for that. After requests from fashion journalists? Retail & Fashion is for you. You can pick the request categories relevant to you when signing up and start receiving enquiries from UK journalists you can help with relevant contributions.<\/p>\n

4. It\u2019s secure <\/span><\/strong>
\nDM etiquette and email sharing doesn\u2019t even have to be a consideration when starting a (hopefully long-term and fruitful) relationship with a journalist working in your sector. Once a journalist has sent their request via the Journalist Enquiry Service, contact between you starts through the service\u2019s internal network. Email replies come via responsesource@responsesource.com<\/a>, until you\u2019re ready to share your contact details.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. You have a set deadline to work to <\/span><\/strong>
\nWhile there are many differences between those in comms and those working in the media, keeping to strict deadlines throughout the day are a necessity for both. Knowing when you need to get information over to a journalist is a vital part of information easily missed on tweet threads. Requests sent through the Journalist Enquiry Service include the date and time the journalist needs the contributions by, as well as when their piece is likely to be published. When request deadlines are up, they fall off of the system, meaning no confusion \u2013 just fresh requests to look through.<\/p>\n

6. Journalists at high-profile media outlets use the service<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe Journalist Enquiry Service has many different users working across the media landscape. As well as staffers and commissioning editors on national press dailies, there are freelancers writing for a variety of consumer and trade magazines, broadcast journalists reporting for mainstream television and digital channels as well as influencers with swathes of followers across social media. Many who use the service have created useful working relationships – instead of searching for journalist connections across social media, sign up for targeted requests from media professionals who want what you have to offer.<\/p>\n
