Community update guide

How to update a media profile

Found an outdated detail or a missing fact? Anyone can suggest an improvement. Every proposal is checked by PressPort staff before the public profile changes.

Three steps

Suggest a correction in a few minutes

01

Find the outlet

Search the directory and open the public profile you want to improve.

02

Choose “Suggest an update”

The form starts with the profile’s current public information so you can change only what is needed.

03

Explain and submit

Add your evidence URL, explain the correction, complete the human check, and send it for review.

What can be updated

Correct the facts that help people understand and contact the outlet

You do not need to complete every field. Leave accurate information as it is and change only the details your source supports.

Public profile

Outlet name, description, country, media type, coverage, circulation, and readership.

Coverage and subjects

Geographic regions, editorial subjects, and keywords that make the outlet easier to discover.

Contact information

Website, newsroom email, phone number, postal address, and location coordinates.

Evidence and review

Suggestions are reviewed, not published automatically

A reviewer compares the fields you changed with the source you supplied. This protects the directory from accidental errors, unsupported claims, and automated submissions. If the proposal is accepted, the approved information is published on the media profile.

Providing your name and email is optional when you submit as a guest. Those details are used only if a reviewer needs clarification; they are not added to the public profile.

Common questions

Before you submit

What counts as a reliable source?

Prefer the outlet’s own website, masthead, contact page, media kit, or another authoritative publication.

Can I update a hidden email?

You can propose a newsroom email. Sign in if you need to reveal and verify the address already stored for the outlet.
