Who We Are
The Media Insider (TMI) is a service of Media Mogul Partners, owned and operated by Margaret Croom and Cyndy Hoenig. TMI was created to fill a convenience issue with finding accurate contact information on media entities by state. First out of the gate was the media list for the state of Oklahoma. Other states have been added, but with the additions of affordable writer/journalist databases that are know for their accuracy, It didn’t make sense to continue the laborious process of creating our own. We have pivoted to providing DIY PR Guides, Toolkits, and Press Release Services for the new entrepreneur and self-employed. We recommend, via our PR Guides, online databases that provide accurate names, phones numbers, emails and websites for contacting local and national media.
