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 Media List you build your own media list instead of buying a fixed file. Search by topic, outlet, location or contact type, save the contacts you want to a list, and export it as a CSV. Plans start at $99 a month with a 3-day free trial and no annual contract.
How much does a media list cost?
Basic is $99 a month for 2,500 contact exports, Professional is $399 for 10,000 exports plus email campaigns, and Scale is $999 for 25,000 exports and unlimited campaigns. A targeted list costs far less than an enterprise database contract, and every plan starts with a 3-day free trial.
Are the media contacts verified?
Yes — Media List has 1,400,000+ media contacts, so the journalists and email addresses on your list are checked rather than guessed.
Can I download the media list?
Yes. Export your list as a CSV with name, title, outlet and email, and use it in your own email or PR tools. Re-downloading contacts you already exported is free.
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.
