Author here, I really like what you're doing for Newtown. Best of luck to you with that! As far as the press goes, you're definitely correct about other reporters reaching out. My main point there is that we found more success by personally contacting people (press included) about what we were doing, rather than sitting around, waiting, and hoping for them to come to us. We badgered newspaper reporters and called local TV stations to make sure that we were being talked about and that people knew how to get involved with our relief effort.
