Congratulations on shipping. I would like to know: - do you have informed journalists about this? - chances of getting reply back from journalists. - will you keep adding, rotating contacts or will the lists be fixed?

As a suggestion you can include links to some general resources like how to write proper mails to journalists etc.

I'm planning on writing a blog post soon on Medium about pitching to journalists.

Isn't this data that you could get from https://clearbit.com's prospecting API? Do the contacts know that you're selling their data, and how did you obtain it?

If anyone has questions, let me know.

Do these people know you are selling their emails ? Also, should I expect a reply from them ?

Well I just had a journalist ask to be included on the list! It's all public information but this is just saving you a lot of time. Obviously, you need to write a good pitch. I'm careful not to promise coverage because no-one can promise that.
