TechNews is great at finding untapped media resources. It's very easy to enter a topic you'd like to find a journalist under and locate a group of people - this would take hours to do otherwise.

I LOVE that TechNews pulls up articles written with certain search terms. This feature is so helpful for targeted outreach. For example, when I'm looking to build a media list on a specific topic, say "data aggregation" or "uber" I can find relevant and recent stories (and therefore reporters). This is a feature that they do 100x better than Cision. With Cision it is impossible to get really narrow and specific coverage areas, and you can't see recent articles of each reporter or link to their coverage on their site. TechNews is great that way. They also show you how many articles each reporter and publication has written on the topic at the top of every search, so you can quickly see if it's something they regularly cover or may just have been a one-time thing.

I like the up to date info the platforms gives viewers
