The Tool

The Media Researcher

A system that runs inside Claude Code — no app to publish, no subscription to a media database. Just a set of prompts, a folder of profiles, and a workflow you own completely.

What makes this different from a press list or a media database:

  • ✓ It knows your clients, your beats, and your priorities — not a generic industry list
  • ✓ It scores reporters on fit for a specific story — not just topic match
  • ✓ It covers non-traditional outlets — newsletters, Substacks, podcasts, community voices
  • ✓ You own it — no recurring database fee, no access expiry, no vendor lock-in
