After having emailed and spoken directly to the person writing the article,

I don't think writing a letter to the editor is going to do a lot. Writers

and editors know what sells newspapers, and it's not in-depth reporting on

the problems of society. Those who don't understand this don't get too far

in the mainstream publications world (unless they've got lots of money to

back them up which tends to change one's views). The only real solution is

to become the media, ie make your own presses and distribution channels.

This listserv and the messenger zines are good examples.



Okay, lecture mode off.
