# `/haro` — Daily journalist-query response generator
Captures the highest-velocity backlink-acquisition opportunity: journalists actively requesting sources for stories that will publish in the next 3–14 days. A single response landing in a Forbes / WSJ / industry-outlet quote earns one DA-80+ editorial backlink — equivalent to ~6 months of organic-link attrition for a small site.
**Important context:** the original "HARO" (Help A Reporter Out) was shut down by Cision in December 2024 after a brief rebrand to "Connectively". The skill name `/haro` is retained per the v2 spec (familiar shorthand for the category), but the underlying source is configurable per site. As of 2026, the active sources are:
| Source | URL | Format | Notes |
|--------|-----|--------|-------|
| **Featured.com** (ex-Terkel) | featured.com | Web UI + daily digest email | Most popular post-HARO; ~50–150 queries/day across categories |
| **Source of Sources** | sourceofsources.com | Daily email digest | Peter Shankman's relaunch (HARO's original founder) |
| **Qwoted** | qwoted.com | Web UI | Paid (~$99/mo); journalist-vetted only |
| **Help a B2B Writer** | helpab2bwriter.com | Web UI + weekly digest | B2B-focused, lower volume |
Each site picks 1–3 sources via `site-info.md` → "Journalist sources" block.
