For the PR committee:
I have emailed NY Daily News, NY Post, and NY Times requesting an email
and/or fax number for submitting announcements regarding installfests,
the CUNY Demo, etc.
The NY Newsday has a page, located here:
http://cf.newsday.com/newsdayemail/quickinfo.cfm#mailing
which appears to accept community announcements via fax or phone. Scroll
down to "The Guide-Listing of Events". They only list Queens and Long
Island. You might be able to get the CUNY demo in, even though it is
located in Manhattan, by stressing in the press release that it is open
to residents of all 5 boroughs, including Queens. Other events not held
in Queens will probably be not included, but it doesn't hurt to try.
They may have another section including other parts of the city.
For all of the press releases to these news organizations, I suggest
limiting them to installfests and demo/inservice type of events which are
open to the public at first. Once the connection is made, you could
consider other announcements. If you start with class announcements,
they won't include it in this free area, they'll tell you to pay for an ad.
Of course, all press releases to the news organizations should include a
reference to www.nylxs.com for more information.
I'll let you know when I get a response from the other papers.
Vincenzo.
