Media Professionals How to Find Archived Press Releases in Seconds with WordsDigger

The Problem Every Media Professional Faces

You’re on deadline. Your editor needs that 2019 press release from a major tech company—the one about their now-defunct VR project. You *know* it’s in your archive, but:

  • 5,000+ files across nested folders
  • Mixed formats (PDF press kits, Word interview transcripts, Excel media lists)
  • Legacy .doc files from PR agencies

Industry data shows journalists waste **19 hours/month** retrieving buried files (2024 Reuters Institute Report). Ctrl+F fails because:

✖ Doesn’t search inside PDFs/Excel

✖ Misses .doc files with formatting issues

✖ Requires exact case-sensitive phrasing

WordsDigger changes this.

  • Drag your "Media Archive" folder into WordsDigger

2. Locate Quotes from Old Interviews

  • Filters results where terms appear within 5 words
