Luke, talk to the person who contacted you about writing the article and see if this article will be spread in more of their sister newspapers. If that paper is indeed owned by Sun Publications or Sun Media or whatever it's called and it's the same company as the one down here in the States, the distribution could be huge (I know of six papers here in Illinois alone that are owned by Sun Publications - one right here in my city).

DJR, do you have an e-mail address we should all use to contact the NYTimes? I'd hate for us all to be sending to different addresses and have it fall on deaf ears. If we all send to one person, they could potentially see our motivation. Just so long as we don't sign our e-mails "Jayson Blair."
