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.
— The HARO Team
