Exporting your Media Lists will provide detailed information from each journalist’s profile page for easy custom sorting. We recommend keeping your Media Lists on Muck Rack for as long as possible since we automatically update the contact details within your lists as we make changes in our database.

  1. From the navigation bar, select Relationships > Media Lists.

    Shows the 'Relationships' dropdown menu expanded with 'Media Lists' circled in red


  2. Select the Media List name.

    Shows the Media List page with the media list named 'U.S. Running Contacts' highlighted and circled in red


  3. Select Export and choose Excel or PDF, then the Export button.

    Shows the Export button being selected and the pop-up box that appears


Customize which columns are included in your exports

In Muck Rack, "columns" refer to the customizable data fields that display specific information about contacts and media outlets in your media lists. These columns allow you to view essential details at a glance, making assessing and organizing your media contacts easier.

You can choose which columns to export in your Media Lists:

  1. From any Media List, select Edit Columns.

    Shows the Media List page for 'U.S. Running Contacts' with the 'Edit Columns' button highlighted at the top of the table


  2. Toggle the columns you want to display ON and those you want to hide OFF.

    Shows the Media List page for 'U.S. Running Contacts' with the 'Edit Columns' menu expanded on the left-hand side showing options to toggle columns ON and OFF

The resulting export will only contain the columns that are toggled ON.

NOTE: Media List exports are based on file size. A larger media list export may not allow you to export as an instant download; it will result in an automatic email export.


Filter the contacts that are included in your exports

Seamlessly filter your Media Lists by the creator, name, data quantities, and more.

  1. Select Add Filter from the action bar above your media list table.

    Shows the Media Lists page with the 'Add Filter' button highlighted at the top of the table


  2. Choose the Name filter from the list and select the contacts you'd like to include.

    Shows the 'Add Filter' dropdown menu expanded with the 'Name' option circled in red

NOTE: Once the filters are applied, the contacts that appear in the media list that match those filters will be the only contacts listed in the resulting export.
