Reading
about big media business can easily generate a feeling of
powerlessness, but in the end any production still depends on real
people on a day by day basis, and is thus not impenetrable. The
chances of getting a letter or a story published are naturally
greatest in the local media which, even though financially
controlled by the larger corporations, are less streamlined in their
editorial judgment. Yet even the big papers and radio and TV
stations will need to take note of public opinion and sometimes have
to give way rather than shaping and manipulating it. It has been
said that for a lie to succeed it must contain at least an element
of truth, and no publication will survive long if it is completely
out of touch with reality. There is strength in numbers as the
massive anti-war demonstrations around the world have shown, and it
is important to let editors know by phone, fax, email or letter when
they push the boundaries beyond what you as a reader, listener, or
viewer can accept. Responding to media coverage rather than just
absorbing it is a first step in political participation and to
enable you to do so we publish below the contact details of some of
the key media players in the UK. The internet has added to the ease
with which a response can be sent, and where a company does not have
a published email address you can still fax them for free using
email, for example a fax to Common Sense (fax no. 01908694035) would
be emailed to remote-printer.editor@441908694035.iddd.tpc.int –
that is you put the fax number after the @ sign in the above email
address replacing the 0 in the national code with the international
prefix 44.
