Topic: Local Media Blitz - Need articles

As some of you know, I'm planning a multi-media blitz Lyme campaign in my town with the support of the local board of health.

Well, I'm starting to pull my thoughts together to get this thing rolling.

One of the things I want to do is write and article for the local paper. Does anyone have articles that they wrote for newspapers that I could re-use?

I'm think if someone already has one I can edit it for my local paper rather than starting from scratch.

I'm just in the planning stages, but as I get things together I will post here to get feedback.

Thanks,
Deb

My daughter had an article published in the July or August issue of Polo Players Edition, an international magazine for polo players. Let me know if you would like a copy.

Thomas Parkman has written at least one that I know of - a letter to an editor, I believe. He's got a post up on the front page of "Medical" today titled "Letter to CBS". Maybe you can email him for some ideas. He's a great talent, super writer, and knows his stuff.
