I recall a few years ago a week before the first season's final four episodes the Chicago Tribune TV Week did a front page cover/article on Farscape being a good show (it also had a cool picture of Scorpious). I figure maybe we can get them to do another cover/article to promote the new episodes in January again. so here is their address.

also, last year the Arts and Entertainment section did a small article noting the beginning of the third season (not much more than that info).

I figure we can write to either of these to get them to write on farscape and pitch the angle of it being a great show being cancelled or even the angle of how CNNHLN approached it in terms of how this is a "grassroots movement" conducted mostly over the internet and how we have succeeded in getting media attention (and apparently even some sponsors to notice us like KFC). If we succeed, this could be good exposure.
i would recommend that primarily Illinois residents or CT subscribers petition them, because i think papers care mostly for their readers. But then again you could also send an e-mail/fax/letter it wouldn't hurt, or you could write to other major newspapers to get them to do articles on Farscape voluntarily (which could sway the opinions of readers who take recommendations from newspapers).
Anyone have the Chicago SunTimes listing? i will have to look that one up. We can also use this thread to put a listing of all major papers in the US.
spread this info to other sites to get the maximum exposure, thanks.
