Muck Rack is the AI communications platform where trusted data, human expertise and embedded intelligence come together to drive clarity, speed and impact.
While social isn’t going away, how journalists use it is changing.
Muck Rack’s State of Journalism report highlights a few key shifts:
1️⃣ Fewer journalists rely on social for reporting (down to 21%)
2️⃣ But it remains critical for promotion (45%)
3️⃣ Platform value is shifting — LinkedIn is gaining trust, while others are losing ground
4️⃣ Safety concerns are shaping how journalists show up and engage online
Social is becoming less about sourcing stories for journalists and more about promotion.

How do you know which prompts are actually worth monitoring?
Generative Pulse is the first GEO solution for Communications Rack that uses millions of real AI interactions to surface questions across ChatGPT and Gemini to recommend the prompts brands should monitor—helping PR teams focus on the questions their audiences are actually asking.
That means more relevant insights into where your brand appears, how it’s portrayed, which competitors show up alongside it and the sources shaping those answers.

Happy World PR Day! My friends at @muckrack sent out these unicorn pinatas to recognize the rare skills PR pros need to succeed. It's clear I need work to add "pinata popping" to my skill set. Regardless, this company makes hands down the best PR software.
From crafting pitches to managing last-minute requests, PR pros make a lot happen behind the scenes. If you ask us, that makes them a bit of a unicorn. 🦄
To celebrate, we've created a special National PR Day piñata (yes, really!) complete with an exclusive Muck Rack sticker inside.
Want one?
Tag a PR pro in the comments who deserves a little extra recognition. We'll randomly select a handful of winners to receive a National PR Day piñata and sticker.
Happy National PR Day, and good luck! 🎉

Last year, Muck Rack and @Rebuild_News set out to answer a critical question: How many local journalists are there?
This year, we expanded that question to understand how the shortage is impacting communities.
Using Muck Rack’s journalist data and an analysis of 4.2 million articles published between January and March 2026, the 2026 Local Journalist Index findings reveal a deeper issue that most Americans have little to no local reporting on the topics that matter most in their daily lives.
The report also highlights a persistent shortage of local journalists, along with significant gaps in coverage of education, healthcare and other key civic issues.
Below are a few of the main findings that stood out to us, and we’re curious which stat stands out most to you.
