with the tv stations...try emailing the anchor people directly. the am and noon people have more time open to fill with human interest stories. or look for the newbie young reporters.
i know that the video from discovery health is outdated, is there another video that would be better? emailing a link that has a visual might get their attention. even links for forums, so they can see the numbers of people involved.
don't give up. pm me for my email addy. you can email me what you are sending out and i can fw it on in my area. i have a very good friend on a national morning show.
oh...many areas have local freebie newspapers. they print many articles for free.
