I was just discussing this with Mr. Robin. Maybe if we can just target an individual reporter for each major network. Someone we think might be sympathetic to an underdog issue. As he said, most reporters are looking for stories.
Example: Diane Sawyer at ABC news.

I don't know, just throwing it out there. Thoughts?
From what I've found so far, you can't email the actual human, at least at Diane's level - you still have to submit through a form. I did actually find an address for the Associated Press. It likely gets a lot of traffic, so it might be days before we got noticed, but that's where most networks get their news from anyway.

Would there be any possibility of us being responsible for blocking something important not getting through or overlooked?

Charm, thank you for looking it up.

Do you think people will be willing to fill out forms? I don't think so...... Maybe then just the Associated Press. If we do go with the associated press..... What other media type outlets have email, I wonder.

I didn't read the whole thread. Are we writing to our governments too?

Contact Elected Officials | USA.gov

We were really trying to get to the media with positive stories. If we can get the media on our side, instead of them getting all their information from the ANTZ (who obviously know how to get to the media :mad:) it might help.

What about sending our emails to the editor. Letters to the editors, or the op-ed editors wouldn't interfere with anything, right? After all, we're just expressing our "opinions".

I found the address for the editor of the Wall Street Journal:

Letters to the editor
wsj.ltrs@wsj.com
Editor, The Wall Street Journal
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
* include your city and state

Opinion or editorial page
edit.features@wsj.com

and the op-ed editor, New York Times:

oped@nytimes.com

We can't be positive with our elected officials? Hmmm :confused: ooookay.

Noooo please don't think that! I'm not saying that. I'm just a tad frustrated that big agencies are so hard to contact. I looked through that list.....even the FDA and the White House have 'forms'. A person can't simply send an email! Argh.

A lot of those "forms" have character limits, too, anywhere from 200 to 500. That would make for some tight, concise thoughts.:facepalm:

Exactly! And then the person sending their story needs to spend even more time doing this. Just trying to give a list of addresses that can be copied and pasted into the BCC portion of ONE email.
