Advice/links? A newbie activist wants to 'contact the media'
about the John Conyer's article at Kos - Creating Reasons to go to War
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/2/16258/65970

snip
"...the British government and the United States government had secretly agreed to attack Iraq in 2002, before authorization was sought for such an attack in Congress, and had discussed creating pretextual justifications for doing so."

Is there a great list of links for contacting the media?

My new friend is outraged and wants to know how to help buoy this story and (she says) "get it out in the open."

6. it is heartening, esp when new people get riled up. But I wonder if
it would also help (besides contacting the corporate HQ's of the media outlets) to notify and complain to the Boards of Directors and (somehow) the stockholders who control the various media companies...

Then go to the Democracy Cell Project where they have experienced grassroots organizers and online activist to help you. They have a blog, forum, and irc (live chat) where you can ask anybody a question in whatever venue you are most comfortable.

It's an active community who is trying to bring help people become better activists and help us be more effective advocates for our cause. Please do the 5 minutes a day on the home page which changes each day, and then check out the blog and forum. If you pop into the irc then choose a "nick" and join the conversation. (However, sometimes the irc is slower during the day, because people are busy at work and in and out. But every night there are experienced people there who can answer any questions for you.)
