Help a Reporter Out (HARO) is a service that connects reporters to public in the effort to tap the public as a resource for news media. Let’s face it, reporters need experts to help them craft their stories. The service gives those that sign up 5 emails a day filled with requests from reporters looking for that right expert out there in the masses to tap from. While the email list is good, its daunting to sort, filter, and figure out.
Hoolykn is our take in organizing that immense feed. Users can create profiles with tags that represent their field of expertise, after that, Hoolykn does the rest. Users can sort the feed, see what requests relate to them and even see requests expiring soon, or ones that just expired. If you’re a PR agent of your business, HARO is an excellent way to get yourself on the map with some free press, by simply being an expert for a reporter in need. Hoolykn makes the experience of HARO streamlined and efficient.
