The Cision Media Contacts Database (formerly known as Bacon's Media Directories) gathers information on media contacts and outlets (currently over 1.6 million, updating daily). Though a commercial resource, it has often been exploited for academic research applications.

The database is useful for marketing and public relations work.cite-ref-1[1] It has also been recommended for use in academic research and has indeed been leveraged as a key data source in peer-reviewed studies.cite-ref-2[2]cite-ref-3[3]cite-ref-4[4]cite-ref-5[5]cite-ref-6[6] As summarized by professor Philip M. Napoli, these directories are "widely regarded as the best-available commercial database for identifying media outlets and media workers in the United States," especially as "[t]he scale and scope of the data contained within Cision far exceed what can generally be gathered by academic researchers...".cite-ref-7[7] However, some scholars critique the use of Cision in such research because its method of gathering data "sweep[s] up problematic actors," such as bots, when aggregating data on media contacts.cite-ref-8[8]
