Media: ‘We all got Rickrolled’ by Trump

52. Agreed, most media actually read correspondence and react

Starbuck, Right you are. Back ten or fifteen years ago before the Internet was so big, I started writing letters to the editors of big publications and was amazed that about half of the letters got some sort of personal response, and about a third of them were actually printed (by my loose count). I was flabbergasted, having expected to be ignored. I would advise making such letters short, and each letter should cover only one topic. If you have two ideas/complaints, write two letters. Make the letters (or emails nowadays) easy to read: Short sentences, reasonably good grammar and spelling, keep focus on your topic. People really do read the mail.
