What's New in Leadership® Online

My Contacts
Leadership Directories recently added this new feature to The Leadership Library®, Congressional Online, Federal Online, and News Media Online. Subscribers can select individuals and build their own customized contact lists.

Any changes that Leadership Directories content managers make to the data will be updated automatically within your lists. Add contacts to lists from People Pages or by choosing one (or several) people from a results list.

Notes
Leadership Directories recently updated the process of saving, viewing, and editing Notes for People and Organization Documents. Notes are added by clicking “Add Note” on People/Organization Documents or from a My Contacts list. They can be viewed and edited by clicking on the Note icon on People/Organization Documents or on a My Contacts List.

Notes include a “Last Updated” date that shows the last time the note was edited/modified. Each My Contacts list, including the notes attached to individuals, can be exported.

Search for Recent Articles
A Search for Recent Articles link under journalists’ listings opens up a Google™ News browser with links to that person’s recent articles. This new feature is part of The Leadership Library® and the News Media Leadership® Directory Online.

Explore by Beat

A brand new feature – just added to the News Media Leadership® Directory Online. This visual search tool allows users to interactively find journalists by the issues they cover. Just point and click to identify individuals who report on your organization’s interests.

New Easy Keyword Searching and One-Click Access to Information

Our traditional keyword search remains present and unchanged, but we've added two new ways to use keywords to quickly access listings for people and organizations--bypassing the results list.

Select the type of search you want to do: Find a Person, Find an Organization, or the classic version of keyword search that finds matches of the terms you enter from across the entire database.

Begin typing and possible matches to what you may be looking for will appear.

Select the item you need and the listing for that person or organization will pop up immediately.

The new organization listing pop-ups also include simplified navigation of the organization's hierarchy. As always, the structure of the organization is laid out in the left panel and the detailed information appears in the right panel. In the new pop-ups these two panels move independently of one another, allowing users to quickly move around in the organization details while maintaining their view of the hierarchy.

Our classic keyword search is still present, and has been improved as well. Building on the new filters in the left panel that were introduced late last year, the results list now offers tabs that allow users to quickly limit their view of results to only people, or only organizations.

These improvements were introduced in June in The Leadership Library®, Congressional Online, Federal Online, and News Media Online.

New Flash Visualization: Explore by Media Outlet

Leadership Library® users now also have access to an exciting new visualization of media outlets, which debuted with the launch of News Media Online.

The new "Explore by Media Outlet" feature (accessible under the Browse menu) organizes listed media outlets by type of outlet and offers speedy navigation and informative pop-ups. This Flash-based feature makes browse-style research simple and fast.   

To begin, select a media outlet type.

Next, you can scroll through the specific outlets within that type. Mouse over the organizations to see an informative pop-up.

Expand an organization to see its departmental structure.

Click on the organization name to quickly see the listing for that media outlet or department.
