;)How about starting to release our OWN press releases (i.e. through the PressWire service).
It costs about $200 (100 pounds) per press release for US publications, or $400 (200 pounds) for the wire services.
I do not have the tech skills to set up a website and start gathering donations or any of that, I am sure someone out there is capable though. $200 a pop isn't bad, say if we wanted to send out a release such as "McCain OK's Iraq war for 100 more years" (and then reference the town hall & video captured of him taking that position a few days ago). I'll pay/donate for the first 2 releases, how's that?
We could then poll/vote on which stories to release, although I think if it were successful we'd have enough cash to release a whole bunch of press..
---------
Releases are sent out to news desks by email, personally addressed to each recipient, at national and international newspapers and magazines, television & radio and the wires, including: Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse and the BBC.
We also publish releases on our own network of news sites, where they are picked up by Google News, Yahoo! News and MSN News, as well as global news aggregators.
