Journalists who put out a HARO query can receive a high quantity of submissions from sources, making it difficult to reply to everyone who submitted.

That’s why Help a Reporter Out just launched a new “quick response” feature to make replying to sources faster and easier.

From the [Journalist Dashboard](https://www.helpareporter.com/view-queries), journalists can now respond to sources with a single click—without revealing an email address to prevent unwanted follow ups.

We hope this Quick Response feature is helpful for journalists to reply to sources, and for sources to receive a status update on their pitch.

In addition, journalists can now bookmark their favorite sources for future stories. Try out these new features by [submitting a query](https://www.helpareporter.com/submit-query).
