Does anyone on DU know anyone inside the news media?

I have a news story but I need someone stronger then me to look into, and besides emailing a hundred people, I could use some help. If anyone wants to read about it I have shared the link below, however it's not funds that I need at this point, but some answers. The only people who can do that for our family is someone in the media.

If anyone can help, please contact me. I personally can't believe this is happening to us, but it is. I wouldn't normally turn to DU for our personal issues, but I've seen the power of this website and you're all I have right now.

The media is probably not going to pick this up, to be honest. Brickbat Jun 2015 #3

It seems like he could make a couple phone calls and clear things up.

You can call/email reporters at your local paper and see if they pick it up.

Ours have a consumer reporter who highlights people who are having problems with various government agencies, utility companies, etc. They usually cut through the red tape and get the problem resolved.

Good luck to you both.
