You can use Google News alerts to get copies of every article written by specific reporters. For example: "Daniel Taub" source:bloomberg The source: operator only works for news search, so be sure to use it for News alerts. If you don't know which reporters cover your client's beat, you can search a source for the right keywords first and then find the reporters who appear most often: "real estate" source:bloomberg I have a lot of tips on this type of PR work with Google Alerts in my marketing tutorial: http://www.alertrank.com/google-alerts-marketing.html I hope you find this useful I agree that using Google Alerts for mentions of your client is a great way of finding places to pitch story ideas, but you can get even more specific than that.
