This incredibly convenient free service connects sources with journalists with relative ease.

Stephen Ruback

HelpAReporter.com was founded in response to an overwhelming amount of interest that was initially displayed on a Facebook page in regards to connecting journalists with reliable sources. CEO, entrepreneur and adventurist Peter Shankman developed this website as a free service where he essentially serves as the middleman who helps to connect journalists with sources by compiling e-mail addresses and sending queries each day.  
  
Journalists simply have to fill out a brief form at [HelpAReporter.com](http://www.helpareporter.com/haro/index.php?r=story/create) where they make requests for responses from inside sources in an attempt to obtain valuable information about a particular story or topic that they are covering.  
  
Reliable sources who are willing to participate in this innovative service are asked to provide their e-mail address and their name at [HelpAReporter.com](http://www.helpareporter.com/). Once they fill out their form, they will receive three e-mails each day that each contain between 15 and 30 queries from reporters. If the source can provide a particular query with an informed response, they will be assisting the journalist greatly.  
  
The founder of HelpAReporter.com, Peter Shankman, displays his admirable generosity each and every day by taking a few minutes to send reporters' requests as well as the responses that are received from sources without charging a fee. If you are a source or a journalist who believes you would benefit from utilizing this service, visit HelpAReporter.com at your earliest convenience.
