Medianet’s Media Contacts Database is Australia and New Zealand’s leading journalist outreach platform, designed to help organisations find the right media contacts, build targeted media lists, and pitch stories with precision.

At its core, the database connects communications professionals directly with journalists, editors and media outlets through a continuously updated, research-led directory of media professionals. With more than 36,000 in-depth media profiles, the platform enables PR, corporate affairs and marketing teams to move beyond mass emailing and instead deliver highly relevant, relationship-driven outreach.

The Media Contacts Database helps organisations:

• Identify the right journalist for a story based on topic coverage, beat, and recent articles

• Build highly targeted media lists quickly through searchable profiles and curated lists

• Access verified contact information including email, phone and outlet details

• Understand how to pitch effectively, with insights into journalist preferences, deadlines and interests

• Stay current with media movements, supported by daily updates and ongoing research

Rather than acting as a static directory, the platform functions as an active intelligence tool for media outreach.
