Describe it briefly
Share what is happening, where, and a verified way to reach you. No account or new messaging app required.
A local line to the press
When something is happening,
reach someone nearby.
The Press Line helps people with a time-sensitive story reach verified journalists who cover their area—without searching for names, exposing personal details, or installing another app.
This is not an emergency, legal or consular service. If you are in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service.
Built to work across borders
Location matches the request. Language, subject and availability refine who sees it.

THE PRINCIPLE
People should not need a media contact book at the precise moment their situation becomes a story.
HOW IT WORKS
One request. The right local eyes.
Route, don’t broadcast
The request enters a protected pool visible only to verified journalists covering the relevant place or subject.
Journalists decide
Journalists exercise their own editorial judgment. Your direct contact details stay hidden until there is a legitimate match.
THREE SIDES, CLEAR BOUNDARIES
Trust is part of the product.
No download. No directory hunt.
A short, mobile-first form with email or phone verification. Requests can be made in the language most natural to the user.
A feed, not an open inbox.
See relevant requests without publishing personal contact details. Opt into locations and topics; respond only when your judgment says it is warranted.
Verification before velocity.
Review credentials, moderate misuse, protect sensitive requests and maintain an auditable boundary between access and editorial decisions.
