You might want to contact the InterPress News Service. From what I've
seen, their rates are pretty reasonable and their editorial voice has a
much more grassroots perspective than you're likely to find with UPI or
any of the other mega media machines. The distribute via email and via
conferences on the APC networks (PeaceNet, LabourNet, ConflictNet in the
U.S.; Web in Canada). You can reach InterPress at ipsrom@gn.apc.org
