Media list vs. enterprise database
Enterprise tools like Cision, Meltwater, and Muck Rack bundle a media database into pricey annual contracts. If your core need is accurate journalist contacts you can download, a targeted MediaList list delivers that value without the five-figure commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I buy a media list?
On MediaList you build your own media list instead of buying a fixed one: browse outlets by country, region, or topic, add the ones you want to your list, and unlock the verified journalist contacts with credits. You can then export and download the list. It's free to start, with no annual contract.
How much does a media list cost?
You pay only for the contacts you unlock using credits, so a small targeted list costs far less than an enterprise database contract. Plans are billed monthly with no long-term lock-in, and you can start for free to see the data first.
Are the media contacts verified?
Yes — MediaList maintains 41,000+ verified media contacts across 3,984 outlets, so the journalists and email addresses on your list are checked rather than guessed.
Can I download the media list?
Yes. Once you unlock contacts they're yours to export and download, so you can use them in your own email or PR tools.
Is buying a media list better than an enterprise database?
For most teams, yes. Enterprise databases are sold on expensive annual contracts. If you mainly need accurate journalist contacts, building a targeted list on MediaList gives you the same core value — verified contacts you can download — without the five-figure commitment.
