The ability to build targeted lists and easily edit is a major plus, and having journalist contact details and recent articles in one place saves a lot of time. I also find the Chrome add-on particularly useful for adding contacts to lists quickly and easily. > > **Cons**: While the platform is efficient, the journalist database can sometimes feel a little out of date. The actual interface for editing releases can feel slightly clunky when editing longer releases also, and slightly temperamental when pasting content. A couple of times I’ve forgotten to attach photos to press releases – perhaps a more prominent place for attachments or a simple flag reminder may help. > > While I occasionally find contact details that are out of date, issues are quickly sorted and using MediaHQ has been a positive experience thanks to the reliable and straightforward way to manage press distribution and media outreach. It’s particularly useful for building targeted media lists and getting press releases out quickly. ----- ### "Quality media contacts" — 5.0/5 > **Lily** | *20 October 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy access to journalists contacts that are up to date. Being able to send out press releases simply and quickly. I have also used the ai for press release headlines and it was helpful. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I find the layout annoying. I want to find journalists I have individually emailed previously. Hard to find. > > Very good product. A useful tool to support our press coverage and reaching out to journalists quickly and easily. ----- ### "Media HQ review" — 4.0/5 > **Owen** | *28 May 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease with which we are able to prepare and distribute media releases and review their reach etc. > > **Cons**: Search function can seem overly wide-ranging at times, making it difficult to focus in on the areas/contacts you want. (However, this could be due to my own use of it rather than the search function itself\!) > > Media HQ is very easy to use, accessible and a very useful tool to help us with our communications output. ----- ### "Game-changer for PR Pros" — 5.0/5 > **Aislinn** | *29 October 2025* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and access to hundreds of media contacts across a variety of verticals and publications. The customisation when mass pitching and ease of use in updating fields > > **Cons**: Can be clunky when editing text in the box, errors and words jump around. When creating lists, you can mass add to lists, you need to go page by page, which if you forget to save, can take time > > Overall, it's been a game changer for media distribution and understanding the ever changing landscape of Ireland's media. I've had it a year and it's my favourite tool. ----- ### "Fantastic Service" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *29 October 2025* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and update, the frequent updating of contacts who have left/joined organisations is hugely helpful\! Also, the ease of curating bespoke distribution lists has been hugely helpful and acts as a great offering for clients of IDA. > > **Cons**: Lists feature was initially difficult to navigate (adding someone from a private list while also adding a contact from the MediaHQ list), however after querying with your customer success team it was explained clearly. > > Very positive, incredibly easy to use with features that make the press release process much more efficient. Also very easy to edit/reschedule which is important in PR\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/196943/mediahq?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/196943/mediahq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
