Our take

HARO (later rebranded to Connectively) permanently shut down in December 2024 when Cision discontinued it to focus on CisionOne. Blackwell Sterling is purpose-built for financial professionals with scoring, sector filtering, podcast and conference coverage, and pitch guidance — filling the gap left by HARO's closure. If you relied on HARO for media opportunities, Blackwell Sterling offers a finance-focused alternative with deeper coverage.
