A couple of questions:

Do the freelance publicists go through any kind of screening process before they can get on the site?

How does a business user's wish list of media outlets work? Can publicists suggest additional outlets for a given story? Or are the one's the business user preselects the only ones that will get you paid?

Which media outlets have your freelancers successfully placed stories in?

We personally screen the publicists.

You can create a specific list, or just categories / a more broad intention. Publicists can make suggestions for approval.

We have everything from National TV to New York Times to Trade Publications. We have a wide range of freelancers who have impressive portfolios. Also - if you want a publication and we don't have a specific freelancer for it, we will go recruit someone who does (especially at this stage of our growth).
