This directory covers the major UK national newsrooms and media groups. All contact links point to each organisation's publicly available press office or general contact page — we do not publish private email addresses or direct journalist contacts, which change frequently and are best found via the organisations themselves or professional networks.
For regional broadcasters, BBC regional services and commercial radio newsrooms, see our Broadcaster Directory.
