Journalists
Having had the task of finding some education journalists I have been really surprised at how difficult it is to find email addresses for them. I would have thought the whole point of journalists would be that they would be easy to access by the public so as to give them potential stories, but this is not the case. I suspect that it is all hoarded by companies that sell the information through things like mediadisk. However these are not the kind of things either small not for profit companies like us can afford or that the general public has access too. Why are our journalists shielded from the public? Perhaps this is why ‘citizen journalism’ is taking off so fast; we need to tell our own stories on sites like twitter and youtube because we can’t find email addys to send our information to regular journalists!!
