Welcome to New ProfNet 3.0 — a total rebuild of our platform that incorporates all of the best suggestions that members and journalists have given us over the years.

It's the logical next step for our community, which stands alone in offering direct links to nearly 14,000 official information sources, who represent in turn hundreds of thousands of experts and sources.

In ProfNet 3.0, we introduce new social circuitry that enables you to filter and fine-tune your interactions not only with reporters but with a wide range of non-journalist professionals, including authors, bloggers, meeting planners, government officials, academic and corporate researchers, publishers, and analysts.

You'll find a new Web-based inbox that vastly increases your efficiency in managing queries. Just click a link in your e-mail feed, and you'll go straight to a Web form where you may easily forward the query to an expert or respond, attaching an expert profile at the click of your cursor.

The quickest way to orient yourself to ProfNet 3.0 is to review Eight Key Steps to Moving into ProfNet 3.0 and visit our Web tutorial.
