The beta version of journa-list has now gone live at www.journa-list.com.
Journa-list is the first Media Standards Trust internet initiative (after this website). It is an independent, not-for-profit site that makes it easier for people to find out more about journalists and what they write about.
It provides a free, searchable database of UK national journalists (who write under a byline), with links to their current and previous articles, and some basic statistics about their work.
It allows you to build up your own tailored list of journalists whose views you respect and trust. You can search through their back catalogue of articles, and link to other articles on the same topic by different journalists. And, if you want, you can be alerted each time any of them writes an article.
While it is in beta testing we'd like as much feedback as possible - so if you want to tell us what you think, or if you have any recommendations as to how it could be made better, please get in touch (email
