How the list was built
The list holds every journalist on file whose employer is Forbes (forbes.com), a online outlet in the United States. Staff based abroad are in it with their own country.
We started from 383 rows. 29 were dropped because the job title names work outside reporting and editing: video, picture and sound editors, photographers and camera crews, assistants, interns, designers, social media and audience staff. 48 titles were cleaned of outlet names, dates and run-on text; the CSV keeps the original in the title_raw column.
A row is listed only when the name, the job title, the outlet and the country are all present. Work emails sit at the outlet's mail domain and were found before the list went on sale; the email_status column says whether the mail server confirmed the address (verified) or it follows the outlet's dominant address pattern on a server that accepts every address (pattern). Where neither applies the cell is blank, and the counts above say how many rows that is. The profiles were collected in July and August 2026. Method.
