Update: Hundreds of Spammy Accounts Banned from HARO, Forever

We’re keeping HARO clean.

Thanks to a combination of community flagging from journalists and our new spam detection technology, we’ve permanently removed hundreds of spammy accounts from HARO.

Forever.

Fewer bad actors means a better experience for everyone — more relevant pitches for journalists, and a more trustworthy platform for sources.

More signal, less noise.

Masked Emails for Journalists

We’ve added an extra layer of protection for your inbox.

Now, when you submit a query, your real email address is hidden from the HARO list. Instead, we use a masked email that routes pitches to you securely — preventing your address from being scraped or added to unwanted pitch lists.

This update also helps us filter spam more effectively, so only relevant responses reach you.

Your inbox, protected.
