If anyone has questions, let me know.
Do these people know you are selling their emails ? Also, should I expect a reply from them ?
Well I just had a journalist ask to be included on the list! It's all public information but this is just saving you a lot of time. Obviously, you need to write a good pitch. I'm careful not to promise coverage because no-one can promise that.
Isn't this data that you could get from https://clearbit.com's prospecting API? Do the contacts know that you're selling their data, and how did you obtain it?
Congratulations on shipping. I would like to know: - do you have informed journalists about this? - chances of getting reply back from journalists. - will you keep adding, rotating contacts or will the lists be fixed?

As a suggestion you can include links to some general resources like how to write proper mails to journalists etc.

I'm planning on writing a blog post soon on Medium about pitching to journalists.
