Help a Reporter Out (HARO) Newsroom

Help a Reporter Out, acquired by Featured.com in April 2025, brings Arizona PR professionals and journalists together in person at HARO headquarters. Brands anywhere can apply to put a product in the HARO Gift Bag. There is no placement fee.

Advertise in HARO lets companies book text placements at published rates, starting at $105, with no sales call. Advertising keeps HARO free for journalists and for the sources who answer them.

New data from HARO shows 2 million pitches processed in the past year, with 21% entirely AI-generated as journalists increasingly filter for relevance and authenticity.

Interviews with 39 PR practitioners reveal how AI answer engines, creator channels, and a return to human relationships are redefining public relations in 2026.
