This one is for Marketing and Comms leads at AI companies!
Our latest analysis of top journalists writing about AI topics right now. Some have an official beat dedicated to AI, others cover it as part of their tech-focused coverage. Either way, they’ve all been VERY busy of late…
Our analysis is conducted using our own proprietary journalist vector search - if you'd like to get a list of recommendations tailored to your company specifically, get in touch with one of our team or book a demo to find out more.
For now though, if these journalists are writing about topics that your company or clients want to be known for, we encourage you to follow them on twitter and read their articles to get a better understanding of what might be relevant to share with them!
