Tin Shingle Media Member Resource:
Media Outlet Idea Center
Media Kit Members of Tin Shingle get access to our Media Outlet Idea Center. This collection of names and media outlets is an idea center - a place for you to start to find people who may be a good fit for your story idea. A leg up in your needle in the haystack search for the right kind of writers or producers - regardless of where they work or where they moved to.
What You’ll Find Here
This Idea Center is to be used to find outlets you hadn’t considered before. As people who work in the media move around and start new outlets themselves, we do our best to track it by showing which outlets the person writes, produces or co-hosts.
EMAILS: If an email is public, as in, the writer or producer made it public, then it will be included here. Otherwise, no email will be listed.
PHONE NUMBERS: Phone numbers are not provided.
NOT DOWNLOADABLE: You cannot download lists from our Media Idea Center or Editorial Calendar Collection. Like, we made it impossible. This prohibits people from downloading lists and reselling them, causing Internet Pollution. TuneUp webinars cannot be downloaded either. They are streamed.
ACCURACY: Media list services are not 100% accurate all of the time, and we may have missed a small or large outlet. Tin Shingle is not a media list service. Please see here for how we make our Media Outlet Ideas Library to learn what you can expect from it. We always research requests from members - both national and local.
DINE-and-DASH: Please know - if you are here for just 1 or 2 media outlets - and want a quick fix - Membership with Tin Shingle is not a fit for you. Tin Shingle is designed for businesses in it for the long haul, who know the value of pitching all kinds of different media outlets, regardless of size, and who want to discover new outlets they hadn’t considered before. We do not grant refunds if you claim to not find the outlet or person you want. We are happy to research, and take your requests through our Contact Us page.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR PR PROFESSIONALS: Tin Shingle was created for business owners, artists, makers and communications directors. These people are in it to win it for their business, and have more of a singular focus than PR professionals who represent different types of businesses and are feeling pressure from clients to provide a turnaround and deliverables fast and furiously. We operate at a less fast and furious pace. If you want someone to take your frustrations out on, then scrape up the money and subsribe to Cision and Meltwater. Tin Shingle has no time or place for meanie-pants people. If you are a nice and kind PR person, then we welcome you into our community and are happy to take your media research requests, to make our collection better for everyone. Otherwise, move along.
