News Leads - Exclusive and secure

Every week, our reporters in Hollywood, New York and London file exclusive news leads. These afford you the ability to break your own showbiz news and commission pieces exclusively for your magazine or outlet.

Throughout the week we will send you the leads direct via e-mail. You can study them and decide which ones you would like for your magazine. Each lead is upto the minute and exclusive. 

Once you know the lead(s) you want, you can contact our agency and ask for the full story - telling us how many words you require. 

Leads are confidential and not for distribution to any other source.
The leads are sold on a first come first serve basis - so don't hesitate once you know! 

To date we have provided hundreds of news stories for outlets worldwide - and our news sources are growing every month.

Please get in touch with us if you would like to receive the leads every week.
