Email Extraction for Journalists

Journalists collect contacts constantly: press releases, PDF report appendices, corporate about pages, court filings, and long email threads with sources. Building a press list or tracking down a spokesperson means pulling addresses out of documents that were never meant to be a database.

This workflow helps reporters and researchers extract every address from pasted documents and pages, filter for official or institutional domains, and keep a tidy contact sheet - with all processing local so sensitive source data stays private.

Tips for Journalists & researchers

  • Maintain a beat-specific contact sheet so you can reach the right expert in minutes.
