What you get that no press database offers

Built By Journalists For Your Newsroom

Rolli was founded by a former CNN en Español Washington DC Bureau Chief and co-founded by a working TV anchor. Every feature is built around how newsrooms actually work.

Verified Experts Only

Every expert in Rolli is vetted through a rigorous 7-step process guided by journalistic standards including those from the Poynter Institute. No PR pros, no unverifiable claims.

Instant Access, No Waiting

Search and contact experts directly—no waiting for a PR rep to approve a request. Experts on Rolli have opted in to be contacted by journalists and are ready to go on camera.

More Reliable Than Google or ChatGPT

Rolli gives you sources you can verify, not a list of random websites or AI-hallucinated credentials. Every expert profile is human-reviewed and cross-referenced.

We Never Sell or Share Your Info

You are a member of our community, not a data point to be monetized. Rolli never sells or shares journalist information with anyone outside the platform.

Breaking news doesn't wait. Neither should your sourcing.
