Medianet for Journalists

Free access to breaking news opportunities

We’ve got the largest media release database in Australia, and our journalist-only portal gives you exclusive access to press releases filled with stories waiting to be uncovered. This includes multimedia, video and audio news releases, and all media releases are archived for ten years to give historical context to your stories.

With Medianet for Journalists you can search and save press releases, opt-in to receive alerts for new releases that are relevant to you, and view upcoming noteworthy media events across Australia for story opportunities, or to help you plan your day.

NewsMatch Alert

A daily summary of the most newsworthy stories straight to your inbox

We know how busy working in journalism can be. With hundreds of releases coming through your inbox everyday, our experienced editorial team will ensure you are discovering only the most relevant and newsworthy story items in one email – the daily NewsMatch Alert.

This service is free of commercial influence, and saves you time that would otherwise be spent reading every single release yourself. Each NewsMatch Alert is compiled with a human touch so you only see the stories that have current or future news value, and you won’t miss out on any breaking stories that need to be covered.

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIPS

Clients talk about us

David Jensen AM

Chairman

“Medianet has really proved its worth with a recent release the Foundation issued on an international photographic competition. In addition to wide coverage in Australia, it was used by the Guardian, the London Daily Mail, US publications and also one media outlet in the Czech Republic. That’s great value for money."

Nick Lucchinelli

Director

“Medianet is a fantastic service. The database is up to date and the releases hit their target rather than landing in spam folders. Our business and our clients have really benefited from using this service."

Courtney Karayannis

Senior Media Advisor

“Our account manager is a delight to work with, service is always with a smile and nothing is ever too much trouble. We appreciate the prompt assistance and reliability, often with requests at short notice and outside business hours.”

Orly Peleg

COO, Co-Founder

"We have found Medianet's professionalism and guidance second to none. They have an exceptionally high response rate. In addition, the feedback they have given us about our media releases have proved invaluable. We would highly recommend them."

Alys Francis

Media and Engagement Specialist

“Medianet is also our go-to for when we need to find a journalist’s contact details, with an exhaustive list of media contacts. Medianet’s account managers have always been helpful and responsive, making sure we are getting the most out of the services”.
