About

The story behind
JournoRequest

The tools experts relied on for press coverage kept disappearing. So we built one that won't.

What happened

2004 – 2023

HARO was the standard

Help a Reporter Out connected journalists with expert sources for nearly two decades. Free, simple, and it worked. Millions of experts used it to get quoted in Forbes, Business Insider, and hundreds more.

Dec 2023

Cision acquired HARO and killed it

Cision replaced HARO with "Connectively" — a gated, enterprise platform that priced out the small businesses and independent experts who built the community.

2024

Connectively shut down too

Less than a year. The entire ecosystem of journalist-source matching — built over two decades — evaporated overnight. No free alternative emerged.

2025

JournoRequest launched

Real-time aggregation, email alerts, and a permanent free plan. $7.99/month for unlimited — not $99+ like the alternatives. No enterprise gatekeeping. No VC-funded feature bloat. Just the tool that should have existed all along.

Our mission

Make earned media accessible to everyone

Press coverage shouldn't require a $10K/month PR retainer. JournoRequest gives every expert, founder, and consultant the same opportunity to get quoted in major publications — for less than a Netflix subscription.

Built by
