Thanks, at the moment we've only got tech news as we originally built it to use for ourselves. We will be adding in more publications though - were there any specifically that you would want?
We wanted to make an open database that was free to use and could let you find relevant journalists (instead of paying a fee to current media databases that encourage mass-spamming).
