Connect with Journalists Who Want to Hear From You
JamNet is a journalist-led networking platform where reporters, editors, freelance writers, podcast hosts, and TV producers reach out to connect with brands, PRs, and subject matter experts.
Journalists use the platform to share their editorial needs, discover press trip opportunities, learn about hosted media events, and connect with the right people for the stories they’re working on.
How You Can Participate
As a PR team, brand, or subject matter expert, you can request access to participate in two primary ways:
1.
Respond to Editorial Callouts
Journalists post what they’re working on with clear details like angle, timeline, and requirements.
If you, your client, or your brand is a fit, you can respond directly.
- No cold outreach
- No guesswork
Just relevant pitching opportunities, at the moment the journalist is looking.
2.
Submit Press Trip Opportunities
Tourism boards, hospitality groups, destination marketing organizations, and PR teams can share press trips, FAM opportunities, and invitations for hosted media visits.
If journalists feel the opportunity matches their beats, they can express interest and confirm their availability.
You receive a pool of relevant, opted-in reporters who want to join — and decide who to move forward with.
Submitting is free. You only pay for journalists who confirm and attend.
And that’s just the start
JamNet is brand new — and growing quickly.
More ways for brands, publicists, and experts to participate are already in development including the ability to post media events, list your contact information in journalist directories, join networking opportunities, and take part in PR-focused webinars.
These will be introduced in waves as the platform continues to expand.
Why JamNet is Different
Balanced, Not Saturated
Most platforms focus on scale — more users, more contacts, more reach.
JamNet is designed differently.
The goal isn’t to create the largest possible network. It’s to create the right balance between journalists and PRs within each category.
When too many brands, PRs, and experts are competing for the same group of journalists, response rates drop, pitches get lost, and the experience breaks down on both sides.
JamNet actively manages that balance.
Categories are monitored and capped. As they fill, access becomes more limited and waitlists are introduced.
This isn’t about exclusivity for its own sake — it’s about maintaining an environment where:
- Journalists aren’t overwhelmed with volume
- PRs and experts have a real chance of being seen and considered
- Connections are more focused, relevant, and productive
The result is a smaller, more effective network — where that quality of the interactions matters more than quantity of users.
Selective, Not Open Access
Keeping the network balanced is only part of it.
JamNet is also intentionally selective about who participates.
Every new user goes through a review process before becoming a permanent member. New accounts begin in a Limited Access Period while their information is evaluated by a real human being for relevance, professionalism, and fit.
It’s a space that’s designed to support more effective, higher-quality connections.
That means:
- Access to more engaged, responsive journalists
- Stronger alignment between what you’re pitching and who you’re reaching
- A higher likelihood of meaningful coverage
It’s not just about limiting volume — it’s about maintaining a higher standard of participation.
Media-First by Design
Unlike many tools that start with PR outreach and then layer in journalists, JamNet was built the other way around.
I created it as a working journalist myself, with a clear understanding of what journalists actually want — and what they tend to ignore.I built it because I wanted something better for myself.
Every part of the platform is structured to solve common pain points and support clearer, more useful exchanges. The pitching formats are designed to surface the details journalists need and to prompt more thoughtful, complete responses from PRs and experts.
Journalist callouts are structured to clearly outline what’s needed, what’s not, and how they want you to respond so that everyone is aligned from the start. That intentional guidance reduces back-and-forth communication, minimizes misunderstandings, and keeps everyone on the same page.
Journalists consistently note that the responses they receive through JamNet are more relevant, more complete, and more usable in their coverage.
Human-Led, Not Automation-Driven
JamNet is actively managed — not left to run solely on automation.
Requests and responses are monitored, audited, and periodically reviewed by real people to ensure they stay relevant, on-topic, and aligned with how the platform is meant to be used.
Low-quality, off-base, or overly promotional submissions are filtered out or removed. Feedback is built into the system, with internal tools that allow users to flag issues and share input with administrators on the quality of interactions.
The goal isn’t just to set a standard at the point of entry — it’s to maintain it.
This creates a more consistent experience across the platform, where the quality of interactions stays high and the signal doesn’t get lost in noise.
There are no bot-driven pitch blasts or mass AI outreach. Communication here is intentional, thoughtful, and human.
Pricing
You Only Ever Pay for What You Use
JamNet operates on a flexible, usage-based model — not a subscription.
There are no monthly fees, no long-term commitments, and no paying for access you may not use. It’s free to be part of the network — you can browse journalist callouts, receive alerts, and submit opportunities without cost.
You only pay at the point of action.
Whether you’re responding to an editorial callout or inviting a journalist on a press trip, you purchase access when there’s a real opportunity you want to pursue — not before.
There’s no pressure to “use it or lose it.” Access doesn’t expire, and you can scale usage up or down depending on your needs.
Pitching packages start at $119, with a limited introductory offer available for new users. You can start small, see how often you actually use it, and only purchase more as needed — rather than committing to ongoing monthly overhead.
For larger teams or agencies, packages can be shared across groups and users — and replenished when they’re used up.
The result is a low-risk, flexible model where you’re only investing when there’s a clear, active opportunity for you or your agency.
