Journalists
Reporters who already write about what you do. Nobody asked you for a quote here — you're introducing yourself as a source for the story they write next, which is why what they published recently matters more than their job title.
Passive — you reach out to them
Available in chat and to any connected MCP client.
Where the data comes from: Featured's journalist index — bios, published articles, and the source requests they've posted before.
What you get back

|---|---|

Filters
You don’t type filters. Describe what you want in plain language and Featured picks the filters for you — “podcasts with at least 50 episodes that published something this month” sets two of the filters below. The literal field names are listed because they’re what an MCP client or API caller passes.
| Filter | Field | Type | Default | What it does | Ask for it like |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First name | firstName | Text | Any | Narrow to a named person. | “a journalist called Sarah” |
| Last name | lastName | Text | Any | Narrow to a named person. | “Sarah Perez” |
| Location | locations | One or more places | Any | Partial match on where they're based. | “reporters in London” |
| Industry | industries | One or more sectors | Any | The beat they cover. | “biotech reporters” |
| Publication | publications | One or more names | Any | Only journalists writing for these outlets. | “journalists at GQ and Forbes” |
| Language | language | ISO 639 code | Any | The language they publish in. | “French-language journalists” |

Handled for you: excludedJournalistIds — Featured fills this in to keep results you have already been shown out of the next set.
Notes
- Publication names are expanded for you. Ask for Forbes and Featured also matches
forbes.comand its international editions, so a journalist filed under a regional domain isn’t missed. - Recency is the best filter here. A reporter who covered your space last week is reachable; one who covered it in 2021 has probably moved on.
Results never repeat within a conversation. Featured remembers what it has already shown you and excludes it from the next search — so “show me more” gets you new results, not the same list again. Start a new chat to reset.
