Contacting the press

[Andrew]

I am too sick right now to do anything, but here's some info I gleaned.

I also discovered that the best way to search for contact information is to google for "news tips" without the quotes. And/or search the name of a news outlet plus those two words.

Also, attached is how to contact Washington Post

If you have a newspaper you would like me to contact, please post a link to their page that explains how to contact them. I already have a letter written.

Here is a list of the top newspapers:

We need to get our hands on a ready-made email contact list for media including newspapers and health blogs. I hope that other allied disease groups have this such as GWI and Lyme. I have started making contacts in these groups. If anyone else can do this, it would be great. at some point we can ask them if they have these lists.

I have started a thread here which includes a list that Wally provided. It has been stickied. If you want to add more press contacts to that thread, I can work them into the intial post. Please tag me when you do so. We really should have all of these contacts in one place.

Kina.

Something is wrong with their contact page. I've tried two browsers and it is not accepting my text as I type it.

I wrote something very short to them but included a number of links with more info; Hopefully the problem you encountered is just a temporary glitch. Thank you for trying and for contacting others as well!
