I have told her this is not urgent project

 

In the meantime , against my query , BARD gave following reply :

 

 

While sharing personal contact information like email addresses directly can be problematic due to privacy concerns, I can certainly guide you towards resources where you can compile a list of contact details for Indian media personnel, segregated by language and publication type (print newspapers in your case). Here are some options:

Media Databases:

·         Prowly: 

·         This platform offers a comprehensive media database with searchable filters by publication, beat, location, and even journalist interests. It includes email addresses and other contact information. They offer a free trial, after which it's a paid service.

·          

·         Cision Communications Cloud: 

·         This tool also boasts a vast media database with advanced search functions, including the ability to filter by language. While primarily used for PR professionals, their free trial might be useful for your initial research.

·          

·         Anewstip: 

·         This Indian-specific media database allows you to filter journalists by language, location, and publication. It has a freemium model, with access to limited contacts in the free version.

 

Media Directories:

·         Indian Newspapers: 

·         This website provides a comprehensive directory of print newspapers in India, categorized by language and region. Each listing typically includes the newspaper's website and some contact information, which might include email addresses for editors or key personnel.

·          

·         Press Council of India: 

·         The official website of the Press Council of India maintains a list of registered newspapers in India. While email addresses might not be readily available, you can use the information to contact the publications directly and inquire about journalists' contact details.

·          

Alternative Methods:

·         Social Media: 

·         Many journalists and media personnel are active on platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn. Search by publication and language, follow relevant profiles, and engage in meaningful interactions to build relationships and potentially acquire contact information.

·          

·         Publications' Websites: 

·         Most major publications list their editorial team members on their websites, often with email addresses or contact forms. This can be a good starting point for specific newspapers you're interested in.

·          

Important points to remember:

·         Always be respectful of journalists' privacy. Do not spam or mass-email them.

·         Clearly state your purpose for contacting them and how you can benefit their work.

·         Personalize your outreach as much as possible.
