Help a Reporter Out (HARO) was an online service for journalists to obtain feedback from the public. It enabled journalists to connect with experts in issues relevant to their reporting.[1] It was founded as a Facebook group in 2008 by Peter Shankman and was later turned into a mailing list claiming over 800,000 sources and 55,000 journalists and bloggers. In June 2010, HARO was acquired by Vocus, Inc.[2][3] In 2014, Vocus merged with Cision Inc.[4] and HARO was one of Cision's brands until it was retired in 2024.
