Every journalist knows the feeling. You have a great angle and a looming deadline, but you are missing that one crucial voice. Maybe you need a data security expert to comment on a breach, or a local voice to humanise a national trend.
Finding the right source should not be the hardest part of your job. At Nonfictly, we believe our role is to make that part disappear. We see journalists as essential partners, not just outlets for a pitch. Here is how we help.
1. Connecting You to the Right Voices, Right Now
Access is everything. But even with a clear angle, finding an expert who is available can stall a story for days. We streamline that process. Our team maintains a diverse, vetted network across industries, from academics to community advocates. When you have a need, we tap into that network to find the right match, often within hours. Whether you are brainstorming angles or have a drafted piece that needs a stronger quote, we ensure your ideas never stall for lack of a source.
2. Removing the Friction from Outreach
Reaching a busy decision-maker can mean days of phone tag. That legwork takes time away from writing and interviewing. We act as a bridge. Once you identify the person you need, we handle the outreach. This includes making a warm introduction and following up to secure a response. We clear the path so you can focus on reporting, not chasing.
3. Building a Partnership, Not Just a Contact List
Our work extends beyond a single story. We pay attention to your beats and your growth. When we come across useful opportunities, a fellowship, a data tool, or a relevant study, we share them. More importantly, we maintain communication that is not tied to a pitch. No spam. No irrelevant releases. Just a genuine effort to build trust over time.
At its core, our approach is simple: make journalism easier to do well. That means reducing friction, improving access, and showing up as a reliable partner, not just when we have something to pitch, but when you need support. When journalists can do their best work without unnecessary barriers, the stories are stronger and the entire ecosystem benefits.
