    Sources is a directory of spokespersons and experts published (in print and online) for the use of journalists, writers, news editors, and producers. Organizations and individual experts list in Sources in order to raise their media profile and attract media attention. Reporters and broadcasters need knowledgeable sources to interview and quote when they write stories or line up guests. The Sources directory is commonly the first place journalists turn to when they need to find experts and spokespersons, because Sources gives them what they most need in their day-to-day work: a wealth of human contacts offering a wide range of views and expertise, ready and willing to speak to the media. More than one thousand journalists a day use the Sources Web site to find the spokespersons they need. Sources is one of the top-ranked sites on the Internet, meaning that organizations listed in Sources are also much more like to be found through Google and other search engines.
