The same press contact across multiple releases collapses into a single record with a coverage timeline. No spreadsheet maintenance.

Every contact record links to the releases they appeared on, with full text, AI summary, and entity dossier links.

Frequently asked
Where do the journalist contacts come from?+
Every press release ends with a press contact block — a journalist name (or the PR contact who wrote the release), an email, a phone number, and the company they represent. PPN World extracts these blocks from every release we ingest, deduplicates them across releases, and indexes them as a searchable directory.
How many contacts are in the database?+
The database grows daily as new releases come in. Coverage skews heavily toward beats that get a lot of wire activity — finance, pharma, energy, tech, government. Niche beats see lighter coverage proportional to wire volume.
Can I export contacts?+
Yes, with limits per plan. Higher tiers add larger export ceilings and API access. We deliberately rate-limit to discourage list-broker scraping; legitimate use within your own newsroom or PR team is unconstrained.
Are the contacts GDPR-compliant?+
All contact data is sourced from publicly published press releases, where the press contact is explicitly made public by the issuing organization for journalist outreach purposes. This is the legitimate-interest basis under GDPR. We provide takedown procedures for any contact who requests removal.
How does this compare to Muck Rack's database?+
Muck Rack indexes journalist bylines across many publications, giving you a comprehensive view of what each reporter has written. We index press contacts (often the PR side rather than the reporter side) from wire releases, which is a different cut of the data. They're complementary for serious PR teams; many use both.
Is this included in the base plan?+
Yes — search access to the contact database is included on every paid plan. Bulk export and API access are gated by tier.
