Media Contacts At The Grassroots Level

I think that making media contacts at the local grassroots level (especially to the swing states) is one of the most important things that we can be doing now and up until the election. People will hear us if we yell loud enough and we can all do this regardless of what state that we live in!Right below are two very good sample letters that were read on CNN by Lou Dobbs that make some excellent points and can also be used good models and examples for us as we write letters.Below the letters is an extensive media list with links to find the best media sources in every state as well as information for much of the nationwide media. I have also included Bush campaign and RNC contact information as well so that we can tell them how we feel about things if we want to!With so little time left before election day, please make every effort to make as many media contacts as you can. John Kerry needs our help to get his message across in a media that is overall more friendly to Bush!Letters that are under 150 words that make a good point without anger and hostility are the most likely to get published and letters that are under 60 words that make a good point without anger and hostility are the most likely to be read on the air.Let's make our voices heard to boost John Kerry's message in the media between now and election day and please especially hit the swing states as hard as you can!We can make a big difference in things by all of us doing this together. Please forward this information on to all Kerry supporters who you know!Mitch DworkinCampaign Manager, Gary R.

I've worked to raise two sons, now in college, which I'm paying for. I love this country so much, but I have never seen a time when our people were so pained with the state of the job market. I am still looking, after many, many months."And John Mahlow of Okemos, Michigan -- "I am a high school student that values your war on outsourcing as more than heroic. These professors who claim that this is just a phase in the global economy have never lived with one parent unemployed and the other barely hanging in, due to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs."We love hearing from you. Send us your thoughts at loudobbs@cnn.com, and please send us your name and address. Each of you whose e-mail is read each evening on this broadcast receives a few copy of my new book, "Exporting America."---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HERE ARE TWO LINKS TO FIND THE BEST MEDIA OUTLETS IN EVERY STATE TO CONTACT:http://newslink.org/ http://newslink.org/topstate.html ----------GENERAL MEDIA CONTACT INFORMATION LIST (YOU MAY NEED TO VERIFY SOME OF THE PROGRAM TIMES):CBS CBS News 524 W. 57 St., New York, NY 10019 Phone: 212-975-4321 Fax: 212-975-1893CBS Evening News with Dan Rather: evening@cbsnews.comThe Early Show: earlyshow@cbs.com60 Minutes II: 60II@cbsnews.com48 Hours: 48hours@cbsnews.comFace The Nation: ftn@cbsnews.commailto:grain@cbsnews.commg3@cbsnews.com cwp@cbsnews.comABC ABC News 77 W. 66 St., New York, NY 10023 Phone: 212-456-7777netaudr@abc.com2020@abcnews.comhttp://www.abcnews.go.com/service/Help/abcmail_news.htmlNBC NBC 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 Phone: 212-664-4444 Fax: 212-664-4426 NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw: nightly@nbc.comNBC News' Today: today@nbc.comDateline NBC: dateline@nbc.comMSNBC One MSNBC Plaza Secaucus, NJ 07094 Phone: (201) 583-5000 Fax: (201) 583-5453world@msnbc.comHardball with Chris Matthews: hardball@msnbc.comMSNBC Reports w/ JoeScarborough:msnbcreports@msnbc.comletters@MSNBC.comhowardfineman@aol.commtp@nbc.comneal.shapiro@nbc.commark.effron@msnbc.comErik.Sorenson@msnbc.comworld@msnbc.comletters@MSNBC.comTWIP@msnbc.comreed.price@msnbc.comsteve.johnson@msnbc.comCNBC CNBC2200 Fletcher Ave. Fort Lee, NJ 07024 Phone: (201) 585-2622 Fax: (201) 583-5453 info@cnbc.comtheNews@cnbc.comBizCenter@CNBC.com wakeupcall@CNBC.com Squawk@CNBC.com MorningCall@CNBC.com PowerLunch@CNBC.com OpenExchange@CNBC.com ClosingBell@CNBC.com Checkpoint@CNBC.com capreport@cnbc.com AfterHours@CNBC.comKudlow-Cramer@CNBC.comPBS PBS 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone: 703-739-5000 Fax: 703-739-8458 The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer: newshour@pbs.orgCNN One CNN Center, Box 105366, Atlanta, GA 30303-5366 Phone: 404-827-1500 Fax: 404-827-1906administrator@turner.combill.schneider@turner.commoneyline@cnn.com CNN@cnn.comcnnmoney@money.comWBlitzer.Reports@turner.comloudobbs@cnn.comjudy&thomas@cnn.comkathleen&rene@cnn.comcnnfutures@cnn.com walter.isaacson@cnn.com q&a@cnn.com quest@cnn.com askcnni@cnn.com Talkasia@cnn.com cnn@cnn.com wrcomment@cnn.comhttp://money.cnn.com/services/speakup/http://www.cnn.com/feedback/FOX Fox News Channel1211 Ave. of the Americas New York, NY 10036 Phone: (212) 301-3000 Fax: (212) 301-4229 Special Report with Brit Hume: Special@foxnews.comFOX Report with Shepard Smith: Foxreport@foxnews.comHannity & Colmes: Hannity@foxnews.com,Colmes@foxnews.comOn the Record with Greta: Ontherecord@foxnews.comfoxnewsonline@foxnews.comEric.Spinato@Foxnews.com oreilly@foxnews.comAP 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020 Phone: 212-621-1500 Fax: 212-621-7523info@ap.orgpr@ap.org chaswell@ap.orgUPI 1510 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20005 Telephone: 202.898.8000 FAX: 202.898.8057 tips@upi.comREUTERS Three Times Square New York, NY 10036 Telephone: 646-223-4000jp.editorial@reuters.comhiroshi.nakanishi@reuters.com koichi.nakasaki@reuters.comsimon.walker@reuters.com susan.allsopp@reuters.com nancy.bobrowitz@reuters.com deanna.masella@reuters.com liam.tay@reuters.com yvonne.diaz@reuters.com kyle.arteaga@reuters.com heike.baumann@reuters.comTIME Time MagazineTime & Life Bldg., Rockefeller Center, New York, NY10020 Phone: 212-522-1212 Fax: 212-522-0323 Letters to the Editor letters@time.comNEWSWEEK Newsweek251 W 57th Street, New York, NY 10019 Phone: 212-445-4000 Fax: 212-445-5068 Letters to the Editor: letters@newsweek.comWebEditors@newsweek.comEditors@newsweek.comRsmith@newsweek.com Customer.Care@newsweek.comUS NEWS U.S. News & World Report1050 Thomas Jefferson St., Washington, DC 20007 Phone: 202-955-2000 Fax: 202-955-2049 Letters to the Editor letters@usnews.comNY TIMES New York Times229 W. 43rd St., New York, NY 10036 Phone: 212-556-1234 Fax: 212-556-3690 D.C.
