While we can send to ANY media outlet, unless a single national news agency gets inundated by hundreds of letters it will have ZERO impact.
An isolated letter here and there to a local news agency will fall on deaf (and confused) ears. No problem sending to these local agencies, but we should arrange to send a mass mailing to a dozen or so NATIONAL, BIG NAME newsies. I think it would have an additional impact if, for example, CNN or The New York Post in the United States also received letters from Europeans, Africans, South Americans, etc... in addition to North Americans . And vice-versa.
