Welcome to the Journalist and Media Network!
What Is JamNet?
JamNet (The Journalist and Media Network) is a tool I created that connects journalists with brands, PR agencies, and small businesses when they’re working on stories or planning upcoming coverage.
- For Journalists: It helps us quickly secure product samples, arrange hosted press stays, source expert insights, and gather fresh story ideas—all without cluttering our inboxes or chasing contacts.
- For Brands & PR Professionals: It connects you with journalists actively working on assignments, giving you the chance to land media placements in top-tier outlets like Forbes, The New York Times, and USA Today—without the guesswork of cold pitching.
How It Works (For Now)
JamNet is growing fast, and I’m currently building a full website platform that will include advanced features like vetting, filtering, press trip alerts, custom journalist profiles, and much more.
But you don’t have to wait to get started.
While the website is still in development, one key feature is already live—the journalist/PR query system.
It’s still very basic without any automation but it’s already been proving effective at connecting journalists with brands and PR professionals when they need them. During this “pre-launch” stage, here’s how you can use JamNet:
- Journalists: Submit your query using the pink button below. Your request will be sent to a vetted network of more than 2,000 PR professionals and brands.
- PR Professionals: Sign up to receive alerts from journalists and stay up to date as the website it built. This is your chance to join the network before categories fill and we introduce caps and waitlists.
