How is the information kept current?

We prioritize every organization that we research to optimize the frequency of scheduled contact. Prioritization is based on customer demand (ie. those contacts already selected into media lists), size, circulation, frequency of change and industry influence. We have daily correspondence with hundreds of media to confirm contact information, profiles and editorial/advertising calendars. We build relationships with the media and provide them with the ability to maintain their profiles. Finally, if you find the information is incorrect you can post an update and we will immediately confirm your correction and apply the update.

Your lists are securely (and automatically) stored under your own user-id on the MediaNetCentral website. This way if/when the media information is updated by our research team then your stored lists are also automatically updated.
