Home of the World's Most Influential Journalists

NewsBios tracks the comings and goings of influential journalists and compiles professionally reported biographical profiles on them. 

Our service is used primarily by PR people and senior corporate executives who feel more confident knowing the backgrounds of journalists who approach them for interviews or who they approach with news and feature ideas. NewsBios also reaches many journalists, including leading editors, who use the service in recruiting staff and for competitive analysis.

Because NewsBios has reported on the most important journalists for more than 20 years, we are viewed in many newsrooms as a kind of a Who's Who of Influential Journalists with more than 7,000 profiles on file representing every major American news outlet and many global news leaders. 

NewsBios include information on the public record and/or provided to our reporters directly by the journalists themselves. 

Our executive editor is Dean Rotbart, who got his start as a reporter and columnist at The Wall Street Journal.  Dean has been a media reporter for more than 20 years.  He oversees all reporting and is integral in making the selection of which journalists to include on our website.

Our selection criteria revolve around journalists -- both reporters and editors -- who we deem are helping to set the news agenda nationally and winning the respect and acknowledgement of peers, colleagues and story subjects alike.  We accept nominations for the inclusion of journalists from both the media and public relations profession.
