write to the media - contact info given
AA. I received this email and checked out the website saquake.org. Great info and when you click on 'Urge the media...' (or 'Write to your congressman...' ) it has all the links for the major newspapers with their contact people's information. I'm sure this took a lot of time and energy to compile. Let's take advantage of it by drafting a brief letter and sending it to all. The website has made it easy to send one letter to many outlets.

Here is a message from Kashif Zafar on behalf of SAQUAKE.ORG Alliance about how to sustain media coverage of the earthquake and the plight of its victims.
----------------------------------- --------------------------------
Dear Friends:
We have all been asking ourselves the same question for the past month: How can we get the Media's attention to keep the earthquake story alive in the news?
Members of the SQUAKE.ORG alliance organizations have confirmation that national media outlets like USA Today get 800-1000 letters every week out of which they print a select few. So what would happen if a media outlet were to get 10,000 letters on the same topic within a few days?
Let's try to get 10,000 people to send in letters over the next few days and it might just do the trick. And it?s very easy to do. This is how it works:
The SAQUAKE.ORG Web Team has installed special software on our website **** saquake.org that will allow anyone to send a pre-written letter to five media outlets through a few clicks of the mouse. Simply go to the website saquake.org and enter your zip code. A list of all the national and local media outlets that cover your area will come up. You simply click the five media outlets of your choice and a pre-written letter (which you can edit or replace) will be sent to those media outlets by following a few simple steps. The entire
process takes less than one minute. Since there are a large number of media outlets listed, you can repeatedly go to the website and send letters to five additional media outlets every time you do it.
SAQUAKE.ORG's media consultants have recommended that we concentrate our efforts and send letters to these five major news organizations:
1) New York Times
2) Washington Post
3) Wall Street Journal
4) USA Today
5) LA Times
Let?s have our collective voices be heard in the media circles. Please go to saquake.org and tell the media companies to do better.
And forward this e-mail to those you believe share your passion to make a difference.
Thank You for everything you are doing to save precious lives in the earthquake affected areas.
Regards
Kashif Zafar
