Listly by Rachel Wild
This list was initially created as '50+ Free PR Tools / Media Resources' list, but since its creation some of the tools have morphed into paid services. I have also recently added some fantastic tools that also come with a price tag, as they are just so good they really deserve to be listed..
Please note, most of the items listed remain free to use indefinitely..
