Gorkana - the essential network for PRs and Journalists

Thousands of organisations rely on us for the most accurate and in-depth intelligence on the media, journalists and bloggers to create PR programmes that hit the mark - every time.

Gorkana was founded by two PRs who ran out of patience with existing resources for managing relationships with the media. Too many cold trails. Too many journalists getting calls on subjects they no longer wrote about. Too many hours spent manually creating media contact lists.

These issues continue to drive our obsessive quest for accuracy, detail and to help PRs and journalists develop relationships based on trust and mutual benefit.

Our customers tell us that the quality and depth of our intelligence is exceptional, add that to our enthusiasm to provide the very best in personal service and that's what makes us the most recommended media database in the UK.

This can all be put down to the genuine value we put on our relationships, with you and our journalists. Over 103,000 journalists rely on our daily media alerts to keep track of changes within their industry, and they talk to us - first. About their stories, their deadlines, and their career moves - and then we tell you.

Highlights

So who do we know?

165,000 journalists and bloggers: find profiles complete with photos, direct lines, twitter handles, email addresses, beats, sectors and departments. We've got their biographies, career history, education, industry awards. Their likes and dislikes, interests, preferred meeting formats and more.

35,000 media outlets: readership, circulation, ad rates, print/deadline days and all the latest changes across each editorial department.

And if we haven't got what you're looking for just ask us: to follow up a sensitive journalist move, get a copy of a certain journalists' biography, or to find out more about a specific publication. Our research team love a challenge.

What are they writing about?

Our unique all-in-one database, monitoring and analysis service means we can analyse coverage of all national and key regional journalists and provide you with live coverage analysis of the last 30 days, so you know what themes, people and organisations are in the news.

Never miss a beat

Email bounce backs can be a thing of the past, with our daily email alerts keeping you up to speed with the very latest changes in your media community. Whether it's consumer, financial, European or US editions, we've got the roundup of all the latest career moves, editorial team changes, journalists on weekend call, and new publication launches.

Let us introduce you

Like we say, we truly believe it's not just about the data, it's about the relationships, so all our customers are exclusively entitled to join us at our hugely popular weekly events and meet our network of leading journalists. It's your chance to hear directly about their beat, how they prefer to work and practical tips for pitching. That's the tricky bit done, then, it's over to you to cultivate those critical relationships.

So many journalists, so little time!

Search and research media contacts by sector, theme/topic, media type, region, country, job title, interest, circulation, frequency or keyword. In seconds, you know who you need to know.

Create and save live media lists that will update automatically as we refresh data (which we do a lot). We even have a dedicated team that looks into PR opportunities for your year ahead, producing ready-made lists. You'll find lists for everything: from the London Olympics; to the top100 beauty journalists; to corporate interview opportunities.

Send your releases and alerts to your media contact lists through our press release distribution system or via the Press Association.

Track and share media relations notes and messages with your wider team through our relationship management system.

Blogs and bloggers

We research and analyse thousands of blogs to develop a shortlist of the top 1447 blogs and 2097 bloggers across 18 sectors. These detailed profiles include themes and topics they cover, any specific PR opportunities within the blog, details of their social media profiles and key metrics to help you understand the extent of their popularity.
