It's all journalists. It's all media. Some are for sure outright corrupt but it's just part of the job.

Don't know of any such thing that exists today. But it shouldn't be that difficult. A simple database linking journalists, news organizations, to topics/companies/keywords/etc.

All orgs with a PR dept have a list and a rate card. It's not like this info doesn't exist. It's just that the general public can't do jack about it. It's like knowing the salaries of baseball players and what team they are on. General public has zero influence on that. The only people who have influence on these things is people who can buy the whole team and set an agenda.
