I love Muck Rack's journalist profile & portfolio design. It keeps all my editorial info in one place.

Jessica Hullinger, The Week Magazine

I love @muckrack for the way it aggregates my articles in one place. To think of the days when I had to clip and paste or shove them inside bulging folders!

Madhavan Narayanan, Freelance Senior Editor, Writer, Columnist

The genius thing about this daily newsletter is that it’s a collection of journalism on Twitter. More specifically, it’s a “snapshot” of what journalists are reading, thinking and commenting on at the moment.

Veselina Gerova, The Next Web

There are a lot of daily digest emails out there, both curated and automated, but @muckrack continues to be the one I learn the most from.

Anthony De Rosa, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

Just updated my Muck Rack profile. What a surprisingly user-friendly site.

Kit Eaton, The New York Times

Even though creating a user account is fast, journalists really benefit from building a more in-depth profile to showcase their work, pitch ideas, accept pitches from various PR, marketing and media outlets, and cultivate a professional following.

May Zayan, Society of Professional Journalists

We’re on a mission to stop PR spam

Legacy media databases encourage their users to email large swaths of journalists based simply on their beat, which has led to an epidemic of PR spam. Founded on the principle of Slow PR, Muck Rack makes tools that allow both journalists and PR pros to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. Our search engine encourages one-to-one communication based on what journalists are actually writing about.

While legacy media databases never allowed journalists to see what their profiles looked like or gave them any other value, Muck Rack is a transparent workhorse. We keep your portfolio up-to-date and safe while enabling you to customize your profile so that you’ll get more relevant pitches and other journalists will be able to easily find your work.
