If you have a single user account, then you are the only person permitted to use it. If you would like to add another user to your account, please contact our sales team on (01) 254 1845. Sharing account details with non-users is a breach of the contract you signed and can result in suspension of the account.

The MediaHQ research team collects journalists work email address, work address, telephone number, a photo and a career description. They get this either through their LinkedIn and Twitter page or by reaching out to them directly.

All of our data is stored in managed virtual servers over a number of secure locations.

There are over 6,500 contacts in the database, across print, broadcast and online media in Ireland. Each contact has a profile page.

The contact details are updated daily by our research team.

We provide contact information for the contacts, as well as social media links, a live Twitter feed and career details. We also list readership and listenership figures, as well as column and supplement print days and broadcast information for programmes.

Yes, any changes made to a contact in the database will automatically update in any media lists you have saved them to. However, if we add a new contact to the database, and you want to save them to one of your media lists, you must do this yourself.

We will alert you in a weekly newsletter. Alternatively, the Newsfeed is kept up to date daily with system and industry changes.

Only you can see the notes that you have added to contacts in the database.

Yes, you can attach jpegs, pngs, pdfs and Word files to your press release.

You can select as many media lists as you like, but there is a limit of 300 contacts per press release. The unique number of contacts you have selected will be displayed on the page as tick the lists.

You can send as many press releases as you like per day, but Starter users are limited to 15 press releases per month.

Simply go to the Improve Profile tab in the menu and scroll down to the Connect Social Media Accounts section. Here you see the Connect to Twitter and Connect to Facebook buttons.

There is a 140-character limit on Twitter. If your headline, hashtags and bit.ly link exceed this amount, your release will not post to Twitter. To resolve this, simply reduce the length of your title or hashtags and save the changes.

We have a dedicated social media team who work on pushing client stories throughout from 9am to 10pm. So by publishing your story online, we can help maximise the view count on your story and get people talking about it.

Yes, the other users in your group account can see the press releases you have sent, scheduled and saved. They are, however, unable to reschedule a press release you have created from their own account.

Simply type in a keyword or name, and hit search. The results will appear under various categories. The search filters will allow you to refine your search results by media type or location. Simply tick the relevant filter box, hit ‘update’ and add all the results to a new or existing list, via the individual tab.

To remove contacts from mailing lists, search for the contact. An orange icon will appear beside their name in the search results. Click on this and you will have the option to remove them from the relevant lists.

No. There is a duplication filter in place, which prevents the same contact from receiving a press release multiple times.

Simply go to Lists you may like and select the ‘move to my list’ option. Several lists can also be moved at once.

Yes. Starter users can only add 10 personal contacts. Direct users can add up to 100. Go to the My Contacts tab in the menu, where you have the option to add contacts individually or import multiple contacts in one go.

Your personal contacts are only visible when you are logged into your account. If you are in a group account, they will be able to see your contacts in your media lists, but will not be able to amend their details.

Your lists are only visible to you unless you have a group account, in which case the lists are shared with the other group users.
