Muck Rack attempts to find articles written by you to automatically add to your profile so it's always up-to-date. Check this box only if you'd like to hide those articles. You can still manually add articles to your portfolio.

The X Feed section of your profile will be hidden and posts will not be displayed.

Your public profile will be hidden. You will still be able to log in and use Muck Rack.

Reorder your articles by selecting Reorder Items and dragging the articles into the placement you want. Then select Save Changes at the bottom.

Next to every article, you can choose to Edit or Delete the article.

Order By Date allows you to adjust the order automatically to the publication date of the articles.

If you see an article on your profile that does not belong to you, you may flag incorrect bylines by selecting the Issue with article? option or reach out to us directly support@muckrack.com and we’ll work to make the necessary corrections. Be sure to provide as much details as possible to ensure the issue gets resolved as soon as possible.

If you see that your articles appear on a page that is linked to someone else’s X handle, please reach out to the Editorial Team at hello@muckrack.com and we will remove that handle and add yours in its place (if desired)

If you would like us to remove the Tweets from your Muck Rack page while leaving your handle active, just let us know and we’d be happy to remove them for you! You can also disconnect your X handle in the social links section of your profile settings at any time. This will remove both your handle and all posts.

You also have the ability to simply hide the posts while keeping your handle listed in the privacy settings: https://muckrack.com/profile/privacy

What's the difference between adding a link via the Portfolio or running the article link through Who Shared My Link?

Articles can only appear in the Portfolio section if added manually to a journalist profile by the journalist that profile belongs to using the steps listed above.

Articles can only appear in the Articles section of a profile if the article has been ingested into Muck Rack's database, either automatically, manually by our Editorial team, or by a journalist running the article link through the Who Shared My Link tool, as shown above. Doing this would also result in the article appearing in Article Search results across Muck Rack, making it discoverable to others via Muck Rack.

Why are there articles on my page that I didn’t write?

While Muck Rack’s automatic scraper does the heavy lifting of accumulating everyone’s work and creating Muck Rack profiles, it isn’t always perfect - especially when it comes to two separate authors with the same name. For this reason, real-life humans on Muck Rack’s Editorial Team work everyday to make sure that each profile is kept as up to date as possible and that bylines appear correctly on the right author’s page.

Claiming your profile will grant you access to make edits to the majority of your profile, but any edits to bylines must be made by our Editorial Team to ensure correct attribution.

You may flag incorrect bylines by selecting the Issue with article? option or reach out to us directly support@muckrack.com and we’ll work to make the necessary corrections. Be sure to provide as much details as possible to ensure the issue gets resolved as soon as possible.

I need to delete an article from my profile's Article section, but I don't see a delete option. How do I do this?

Please reach out to the Editorial Team at hello@muckrack.com, provide the URLs for any article you would like removed, and we will remove them for you.

How do I add a publication to "As seen in" in my profile?

Please reach out to the Editorial Team at hello@muckrack.com or via the Chat widget in the bottom right-hand corner. You may asked to provide the URLs to any content you have written for that publication or additional details.
