What organizations like yours are saying:
Shortly 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.

Through 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:
Like 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
I 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
Forget
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.

Homemaker's Magazine
Sources
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.

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
