Built for journalists.
Welcome to the Journalist and Media Network — aka JamNet.
The name is intentional. JamNet wasn’t built for brands or PR teams, though it can be a valuable resource for them. It was built for journalists — by a journalist — with one goal in mind: to make our jobs easier.
Whether you’re tracking down product samples, lining up a press stay, or seeking expert sources, JamNet connects you quickly with the right people without flooding your inbox with unsolicited pitches.
It’s not a free-for-all space. It’s not an “any random person can join.”
JamNet is a curated, boutique network of high-quality, well-vetted PRs, brands, and experts who understand how the media landscape works, and how to communicate clearly.
No one is going to spam you. No one is going to chase you down. No one is going to "flag a new client" or "get an exciting product on your radar."
This is a space where every pitch is solicited and the quality is vetted by real human beings — not automation.
Feedback is built in. Irrelevant responses are filtered out, and low-quality pitches are removed.
Categories are capped, access is limited, and everything is designed to prevent oversaturation.
It’s about quality over quantity.
Lower volume. Better responses.
Less is more.
You ask for what you need and get focused, relevant responses from people who are ready to help.
Best of all: JamNet is completely free for journalists.

PR and Brand Contact Information
Looking for a specific contact at a brand or PR agency? Trying to figure out who reps a certain product or handles media inquiries?
Submit a callout to the network. Caveat: We're not a directory — but you'd be surprised how often people know each other.
Give it a try if you're wanting to:
- Track down a specific PR rep or agency
- Find out who handles media for a particular brand
- Locate a contact who isn't in your existing network
- Reconnect with someone you've lost touch with
For any journalist who's ever spent hours hunting down PR contacts.
