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.
The workflow
1
Extract from documents and releases
Paste press releases, report text, and about-page content into the extractor to capture every address.
2
Isolate institutional contacts
Use government and edu extractors to surface official spokespeople and academic experts quickly.
3
Dedupe your press list
Merge lists from multiple stories and remove duplicates so a contact isn't pitched twice.
4
Keep a clean contact sheet
Format and export a CSV you can search and reuse across future stories.
