Introduction to Media Lists
What is a Media List?
A Media List in Muck Rack is a curated collection of journalists and media professionals who cover specific topics or industries. It is a centralized database for PR professionals, communications teams, and marketers to target and connect with the right journalists.
Media lists are useful because they enable targeted outreach, save time by consolidating contact information, help build relationships with journalists, track and organize media contacts, and facilitate collaboration within teams.
Navigate a Media List
At a glance, you can view contact and outlet information, and receive email notifications when someone changes jobs. You can also add and edit Relationship Owners, Pitch Owners, and Media List notes for contacts within a Media List.
Edit the columns of your media lists
By default, media lists will contain a pre-configured set of columns. You can customize the columns included in your lists by selecting the Edit Columns button at the top of your list.
Filter your media lists table
You can filter your media lists in a number of ways by selecting the +Add Filter button at the top of the list table.
NOTE: Table filters stay active until they are cleared. Any active filters will appear as gray boxes at the top of your table view.
Adjust your view
If your table of media lists has grown large, you can use the selector at the bottom of the table to view more lists at one time. Keep in mind, this same functionality is found on any table across Muck Rack.
