Continuing from this thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...threadid=11985

Recap: We want to get the Samoa story out to the press. For that we need to access as many journalists and reporters as possible - only those that cover animal related issues. So, here's how I was going to go about finding them -

1. Visit the website of a newspaper (any newspaper)
2. Run a search for "cats" and "pets" on their website to track down the relevant articles.
3. Then get the name and email of the repoter

Now, here's the thing - there are thousands and thousands of them out there! And this is where I could really use your help!

As several of you have so kindly offered to help - Yola came up with this great idea of making this team effort into a thread which will help everyone keep track of things and be generally fun too. To add to the fun, when we finish we will have a draw and one of the members who joined in the effort will be awarded with a special warm Snuggle Kitty to keep her or his cat warm this winter!

In the previous threads I gave links to newpapers in Alabama - Iowa (all completed). We also have Jeanie working on Pennsylvenia, Heidi on Colorado, Crazy-Cat-Lover on British Colombia, adymarie on Ontario, and Nicki on West Virginia.

If you want to join in, just post and tell me which "chunk" you want to do. I will then mark it down as "taken". Post here with your questions, feedback, comments - anything.

Please email me with your chunk info in seperate lines for each reporter containing the following information:

Reporter's name, reporter's email, newspaper's name, newspaper's web address

That's all I need - if you want, feel free to add you comments at the end of the email.


So far we have the following members in for the draw of the purrize...:
Jeanie G.
Debby
adymarie
Nicki
Crazy-Cat-Lover
valanhb
wibble

Let me know if I forgot anyone. Some of you have already sent in their work - thank you!

Anne, quick question:

If you can't find any animal related articles, would you want the information for the "general" news email? Or just skip that paper all together and move on?

Yes, Anne, I will do 62-69.


I just sent you #62 and #63. There were several papers that are "specialty" papers, like for bankers and lawyers. I did not include those, as they don't have a section for furbabies!!!

Anne/Hissy - so sorry. My internet connection (supposedly 24/7)has been useless and refusing to connect the last few days (apart from the odd minute here and there).

First thing tomorrow, if there are any chunks left I will be in touch.

Apologies - if you have any areas needing to be covered send me an email.

Thanks Yola!

I'm afraid there are no US chunks left for you - but no one has done anything with the UK yet - so I'll be leaving that for you

Anne, I'm finally back! It's almost 8 p.m. here, and I just got the computer back, but I will pick up Pennsylvania where I left off tomorrow. So sorry!

Anne, I haven't had the time to do the last chunks of Massachusetts. If anyone else can take some of them that would be great. I did the first 3 batches so far, but I won't be able to finish up now because I'm going out of town for a couple of days.

Thanks!!

Alberta, Manitoba and New Brunswick done! I am posting this here because if anyone else is doing Canadian papers, I don't want to overlap.

I will do Newfoundland and Labrador next and follow that with The Northwest Territories.
