Each record carries the outlet, title, best-effort beat topics, and any public contact info (a work email or a social handle) found on that outlet's own page. There is no cross-outlet upstream search; this dataset is built by crawling a curated roster of outlets ourselves. vertical enum: tech, crypto, marketing, consumer_tech, consumer_policy, cybersecurity, health, gaming, climate, tech_independent, culture_independent. contact_type enum: email, social, none. sort enum: relevance, name_asc, outlet_asc, crawled_desc.
