• Abstract: Slating a product for release often involves pitching journalists to run stories on your press release. Good media coverage often ensures greater product reach and drives audience engagement for those products. Hence, ensuring that those releases are pitched to the right journalists with relevant interests is crucial, since they receive several pitches daily. Keeping up with journalist beats and curating a media contacts list is often a huge and time-consuming task. This study proposes a model to automate and expedite the process by recommending suitable journalists to run media coverage on the press releases provided by the user.
