Welcome to Teen Scene Sources! Are you a teen or young adult between 16-24 years old? How about a publicist or business owner with a product for teens/young adults? How would you like to be interviewed for newspapers, magazines, radio, and websites? Journalists from around the world are looking for sources to interview and feature in their stories every day. You could be one of those sources! Teen Scene Sources connects journalists with teens, young adults, publicists and business owners. Teen Scene Sources is FREE and EASY! Sign up below for our daily newsletter.

JOURNALISTS: If you are looking to create a query to find sources, click here.

As a SOURCE, you will receive one email every weekday with queries from journalists looking for sources to include in their stories. For instance, if a journalist is looking for a high school or college student to comment on American Idol you will have the opportunity to pitch yourself to the journalist of why you are the best person to comment on American Idol in their story. On the other hand, a journalist may be looking for a product that is for teens/young adults and you are a business owner or a publicist with that type of product, you can pitch directly to the journalist. Teen Scene Sources is about as simple and easy as it can get!

The daily email you receive will come from me, Chad Kennedy, the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Teen Scene Magazine. Each email will have [Sources] in the subject line so that you can make sure the emails don't end up in your spam folder.

The only rule to being a source on Teen Scene Sources is that you will never pitch something off-topic to a journalist. If I receive a report of you pitching off-topic you will be banned from the list. I don't want to have to ban anyone, so please take your time before deciding to pitch to a journalist and be sure that what you are pitching is on target. If you aren't sure whether it would be a good fit you can always contact me and get my opinion.

Teen Scene Sources came about after many years of having to search high and low for sources to feature in Teen Scene stories. I thought there must be an easier way to go about this. I'll admit I wasn't the first to come up with the idea for a newsletter connecting journalists with sources. The inspiration for Teen Scene Sources came from subscribing to a similar newsletter called "Help A Reporter Out (HARO)." I continue to subscribe and use HARO to find sources to this day and have no plans to quit using HARO. In fact, I suggest you check it out at helpareporter.com if you haven't already and use it along with Teen Scene Sources. HARO is primarily for older professionals though, not the teen and young adult market. I hope to fill that void with Teen Scene Sources by focusing solely on the teen and young adult market that the Teen Scene brand is already so popular with.
