Advice on Press Releases

[Stefan]

Can anyone offer me the benefit of their experience on getting press releases out to local media (particuarly in London, but in general is good as well). For example, does nay one have email or snailmail address from a past effort they could pass on?

Not sure of any specific contacts in papers etc.

Here is a company that will do it for £135

It might be worth having a fund that people can donate to that will pay for press releases for events etc.
