Top Ten FREE Online UK PR Resources

1. British Newspapers and News Online - target="_blank" title="www.wrx.zen.co.uk">www.wrx.zen.co.uk

Comprehensive links page. Good first start for trade press, regional press. You might find the directory and reference links useful too.

2. Digital Spy - target="_blank" title="www.digitalspy.co.uk">www.digitalspy.co.uk

Digital Spy is unsurpassed for free programming information. Be the first to discover which shows are going into production. Why not research the production company and offer them some exclusive content?

3. JICREG - jiab.jicreg.co.uk

It’s an advertising database of regional newspapers. The amount of demographic information and report making power is quite staggering. Find out which regional audiences will give you best reach right here. It won’t cost you a penny!

4. Media UK - www.mediauk.com

This is the closest you get to the commercially available searchable database The Buzz Factory spends thousands on. You can search by any keyword – choose a region / county for geographically specific campaign – or search by sector if you need to get your message across to a trade. Each search offers links to the websites of each relevant radio, TV, newspaper and magazine title.

5. News Now - target="_blank" title="www.newsnow.co.uk">www.newsnow.co.uk

Great for inspiration. Search for competitor names and find out what is being published online in your key sector. Use the ideas you see to come up with a few ideas for your own business or organization. If a news angle has already proved successful – why not reinvent it for you own needs? Also consider Google News - the news alerts are free.

6. Newspaper Society Database - target="_blank" title="www.nsdatabase.co.uk">www.nsdatabase.co.uk

Same info as the JICREG database – but some may prefer the presentation.

7. Online Public Relations - www.online-pr.com

Do not be fooled by the dour and boring graphical presentation of this website. This is the daddy of all PR resources. Just get clicking and watch the world’s largest collection of genuinely useful PR documents appear before your very eyes. Literally thousands upon thousands of resources to inspire and inform. American but still very useful in the UK nonetheless. Great stuff.

8. Radio Stations - target="_blank" title="www.rab.co.uk">www.rab.co.uk

The radio equivalent of the JICREG database. Again, it’s a site that’s designed to help advertisers home in on commercial radio demographic information. Great for PR research too though.

9. The Paper Boy - www.thepaperboy.com

We like this too, and it may throw up a few interesting search results. But media UK has the edge.

10. The Buzz Factory - target="_blank" title="www.thebuzzfactory.co.uk">www.thebuzzfactory.co.uk

Our favourite but not free this one. Just a blatant plug. Visit frequently and often.
