Fans For Quality Reporting...

Totally unhappy at recent media reporting of Whitney's Atlantic City shows? Want to voice an opinion to the people who publish blatant lies?

We have the means! Please feel free to email the following editors/newsdesks to complain, if you see fit, having read, or read about some of their commentary in recent days.

I'd appreciate a copy of any mails/letters that you do send - many fans have already had great success including Lisa D - her complaint to Fox News was addressed by Roger Friedman's 411 column.

Keep it clean, keep it polite, to the point and focused on the matter at hand.

At the request of fans who have already copied their complaints to me, I will look into a way of getting all your letters sent to Whitney's office.

Terri - a Whitney fan who works for a magazine have provided the following helpful hints:

The folks who want to send letters to the NY Post should do 2 things:

Enclose a xerox of their ticket stubs with their letters so the Post's editors KNOW that all of the letter writers are legit;
Send an additional letter (or letters) and ticket stub xerox(es) to the Post's competition, New York Newsday, New York Times, whoever.

If the editors want to, they will suppress 90% of the negative letters they receive thus neutralising your impact. Letters should also probably go to two other places:

Radio and TV outlets including their websites because we want to make sure others know. The point is to make sure the NY Post can't suppress the letters;

Send these letters to the concert promoters ESPECIALLY with xeroxes of the ticket stubs. That way the promoters will know just how much money is talking along with those letters. The promoters are the ones who buy the ads that the newspapers need to survive. If the promoters are upset at all, the newspapers are more likely to pay attention and bend to pressure.
