Journalists know the struggle. A deadline is looming, and finding a credible expert takes way too long. ExpertFile just solved that problem.
The company has launched a mobile app that connects journalists, media bookers, and event organizers with vetted experts in seconds. It’s free to download and puts more than 50,000 expert profiles at your fingertips.
Reporters from CNN, The New York Times, BBC, NPR, and other major outlets already use ExpertFile. Now, with the new app available on iOS and Android, finding an expert is faster than ever.
Why This App Matters
Most journalists still spend hours searching for credible sources. According to a study conducted with the Associated Press, it takes an average of two hours to lock down an expert for an interview.
ExpertFile’s new app slashes that time to minutes. “More journalists are working in the field and outside centralized newsrooms,” said Robert Carter, Co-Founder and VP of Product. “They’re glued to their phones. That’s why we built an app that puts everything they need right in their hands.”
Who Benefits the Most?
This isn’t just for journalists. The app is built for professionals who need credible expertise fast, including:
- Media & Newsrooms – Reporters and producers can quickly find experts for breaking news.
- Event Organizers – Conference planners can secure top-notch speakers.
- Legal Teams – Lawyers can connect with expert witnesses for cases.
- Corporate & Government – Professionals can access industry insights and research.
What Makes It Stand Out?
Instead of scrolling through outdated directories or waiting on referrals, users can instantly browse expert profiles, complete with credentials, past media appearances, and contact details. The app’s features make it easier than ever to secure a credible source:
- Fast Expert Search – Find subject matter experts across thousands of topics.
- Direct Inquiries – Message experts instantly to schedule interviews or speaking engagements.
- Save & Bookmark – Keep track of frequently used sources for quick reference.
- Daily Expert Insights – Get updates on trending topics from industry leaders.
Wilf Dinnick, founder of Mission-A and a former ABC News and CNN journalist, praised the app for its depth of expert profiles. “The detailed interactive profiles, complete with education, publications, and past media coverage, really help when vetting sources. Every journalist should be using this app.”
