🧠 1. Smart AI Matching

Our system scans journalist databases, social profiles, and recent articles to find reporters who are actively covering topics related to your news hook.
This ensures your pitch lands in the right inbox — not just any inbox.


🏆 2. Top 5 Journalists Per Outlet

PodPitch automatically selects the top five journalists for each outlet based on:

  • Topic relevance to your campaign’s news hook

  • Recency of their published work

  • Outlet credibility and audience reach

You’ll always see a curated list of journalists who are most likely to engage.


⚙️ 3. Filter by What Matters

You can refine your journalist list even further by filtering results based on:

  • 🌍 Location (country or city)

  • 🗞️ Outlet type (radio, TV, online, or print)

  • 🗣️ Language preference

These filters help tailor your outreach for region-specific or industry-focused campaigns.


👀 4. See Their Socials and Work

When you view a journalist's profile, you’ll see:

  • Their recent tweets/X posts

  • LinkedIn profile

  • Recent article clips or bylines

This helps you understand their voice, interests, and current coverage areas before you pitch.


💡 Why It Works

  • Targets only relevant, active journalists

  • Helps you personalize your outreach

  • Keeps your media list organized and always up-to-date


✉️ In Short

PodPitch uses AI to take the guesswork out of PR outreach — so every pitch you send goes to someone who’s already interested in your story’s topic.
