Hi. I'm a trained writer and photographer with lots of talent but the prospect of phoning up to get the names of all the feature editors of all the national papers and their supplements is scaring me off.
I've got the papers' phone numbers from the Guardian Media Directory but I imagine the switchboard and newsrooms won't have the time to give me the info. There are so many of them and they change occasionally. Once I have their details I can email them feature ideas. Does anyone know of a ready made list, or has anyone got a list? Thanks.

Journalism in africa seems to be on the decline, with reporters resorting to tired cliches, how best can this tide be reversed?

This may seem like an irrelevant question, but I just noticed a newspaper article in the Houston Chronicle (Oct. 21) that had previously been published in the Washington Post (Oct. 13). The article was about oil in Angola. It is an Associated Press article. Is this common practice? Is all of our news recycled?

Just 2 weeks ago, an ex-member of the BNP was found in possesion of a rocket launcher and what the police reported as the biggest discovery of explosives EVER IN A UK HOME. The mainstream news networks are not interested in reporting on it as the story doesn't involve muslims. The biggest ever discovery of weapons and explosives in a home, and the issue of muslims wearing veils is considered more news-worthy. What the hell is going on?

It amuses how vociferous liberals are in their attacks against Fox News. Now I will concede that Fox News is neither fair, nor balanced, in fact it has a definite conservative slant, but the level of attack is ridiculous. The media in general has a liberal slant and they all appear more interested in ratings than truth. Yet we never hear attacks against CNN, MSNBC, etc. CBS was caught outright using forged documents as evidence. Where was all the liberal outrage against them? Give up? There wasn't any because they agreed with Dan Rather's excuse of "the story was true even if the documents were false". Personally, I don't trust Fox News any more than I trust CNN, ABC, or any other news outlet, but I recognize 2 facts. People are watching or they wouldn't be around and liberals hate Fox because they won't tell their side of the story only. My thought is you either believe in freedom or you don't. Not just freedom for those who agree with you.

What say you?

HUGE MEDIA COVERUP: US Falcon Arsenal in Iraq Destroyed by
Mujahideen. We must spread the word about this. There has been a complete media
blackout about the attack. Reports are just beginning to surface on the
net.

This is where al Quaeda HQ was (is?).
So why so little news?
What about bin Laden? Is he on the back burner, or off of the stove?
