Whisper graphicWhat People Are Saying About Sources

What organizations like yours are saying:

Dick HaasShortly after the Summer Issue [of Sources] came out, I received a call from a freelance writer. She writes for the Globe and Mail. Weekly, there is a personal financial profile of an individual and an expert is asked to comment. Well, I was the expert (she found me in Sources) and the article was published on September 14. This article led to me receiving two calls from prospective clients who have substantial amounts of money to invest. Am I convinced about the merits of listing in Sources? That goes without saying.
— Dick M.A. Haas, B.A.,
Haas Financial Services, Acton ON

Cathleen FillmoreThrough my listing in Sources I’ve been featured in a full-length article in Canadian Living Magazine, been interviewed by Canada A.M., and an Ottawa radio station – not to mention acquiring long-term clients. It’s been a wonderful investment for me personally and my bureau, Speakers Gold.
— Cathleen Fillmore, www.speakersgold.com

I can honestly attest: a listing in Sources works! My listing recently brought me three inquiries in one week. These led to me:
(1) being quoted nationally by The Canadian Press news service, including a reference on the Canoe.com Web site; the subject was computer generated ads during the Super Bowl; (2) being heard locally on Majic 100 in Ottawa on the future of Arts funding; (3) helping an entrepreneur decide her future in the hot beverage industry in Vancouver. My specially tailored listing for Individuals has proven that an “expert” doesn’t always need a huge company behind them to be helpful and credible to media. I can strongly recommend, with no reservations whatsoever, a listing for any individual who possesses expertise and wants to share it in a way that will generate favourable and priceless publicity.
Thank you Sources!
John Corcelli, B.A.A.

What journalists who use it are saying:

Ann DouglasLike many journalists, I turn to Sources on a regular basis. It’s a great way to find experts quickly without a lot of hassle. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to the trouble of tracking down an amazing expert via the Internet or through word of mouth, only to find that they are unwilling to speak to the media. Sources saves me time by providing me with leads on experts who are not only willing to be interviewed; in most cases, they’re downright eager!
— Ann Douglas, Author

Andy BarrieI created Reginald, the broadcast producer software, because I believed our industry needed a tool imagined by and engineered for actual working broadcasters. There isn't a feature in this software that wasn't asked for by a working producer. That’s why I incorporated the entire Sources directory database directly into Reginald.
— Andy Barrie, Radio host and
‘Reginald’ software creator

Dianne RinehartForget the Web! Head to Sources when you want to find reliable experts and authorities on any subject. Sources is an indispensable research tool for any reporter, writer or editor.
— Dianne Rinehart, Journalist, former Editor-in-Chief, Homemaker's Magazine

Linda FoxSources has been a constant companion throughout many of my years in daily newspaper journalism in Toronto... and it is one of the most valuable resources any journalist could have. It is a Godsend to all who are in the media... and I have a great deal of respect for its place on reporters and editors' desks.
— Linda A. Fox is managing editor of Canada's TV Guide and a former senior editor with Sun Media and the Globe and Mail's ROB

We’ve recently launched a Web-based assignment management system across CP and one element in the service is access to the Sources directory. By building a direct connection to the Sources database of PR contacts in our assignment system reporters can quickly and easily locate contacts for their stories. It’s a very productive fit.
— Dwayne Desaulniers, Canadian Press

"Sources provides me with ideas for further contacts when I'm researching a story... I also use Sources to find exactly the right person to call in an organization".
— Barbara Simon, Researcher,
CTV Television's W5

"Sources has been the most used and read resource information book in our newsroom for years. Keep them coming".
- Richard Williams, Managing Editor
The Western Star, Corner Brook, Newfoundland

Whenever I’m dealing with the unfamiliar – and that seems to be happening more as new specialties emerge – Sources invariably puts me in touch with the people I need to speak with. A service worth many times the cost of subscription.
William Shields, Editor,
Masthead magazine

When I’m researching anything ... I visit the office of the head honchos and see what they’re thinking, reading, saying and doing. I’ve visited hundreds of offices in my personal and business life and the one familiar fixture has been Sources. At first I didn’t know what Sources was. I just knew it was in everyone’s office.
— Paul C. Nazareth, Scarboro Missions
