How do journalists and media teams find expert sources fast?

A lot of journalists and media teams need credible experts quickly for interviews, commentary, quotes, and podcast episodes.

But expert sourcing still often depends on:

• personal network

• PR agencies

• social media posts

• manual search across multiple platforms

We’re building SpeakUp to make expert discovery easier for media teams, and I’d love to learn from others in this space.

If you work in journalism, editorial, or media production, how do you usually find experts for stories or interviews?

And what matters most:

• speed

• relevance

• credibility

• response rate

• niche expertise

Would love to hear how you solve this today.
