  • c|net/news.com
  • how about some mainstream media?

    :

  • Er, what about Apple.com Hot News (presumably that gets dispensed to all international outlets at Apple as well)??
  • Ars Technica: if you could persuade John Siracusa to write a review that might be pretty cool (he could be interested in the nitty gritty of getting OOo to run natively in OS X given his other columns - might provide an interesting perspective on the "how" rather than the "why" of NeoJ). http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac.ars

• EN_UK

  , : can you add sites/publications to this section?

  • • : Most of the sites I visit are US ones (when it comes to Mac/Tech news) but here are some possibilities
      • MacWorld (UK edition): http://www.macworld.co.uk/contact/ (not sure who to e-mail there but they should be sympathetic given the presence of NOJ on their cover CD)
      • The Register is worth a shot: http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/about/contact/ (again not sure who to e-mail, but Andrew Orlowski or Tony Smith tend to be the ones who report on Mac news)
      • MacUser/PC Pro: http://macuser.pcpro.co.uk/ Magazine requests that press releases and news items should be submitted to Releases
      • MacFormat Magazine: Reviews: Mark Sparrow Editor: Graham Barlow
      • The National Broadsheets might be worth a go too but I suspect this would be a long shot (for their online versions in their Sci/Tech sections):
        • The Guardian: online@guardian.co.uk
        • The Times: online.editor@timesonline.co.uk
        • The Daily Telegraph: they don't seem to have any easy to find contact address so screw them ;-)
        • The Independent: ditto the Indy - no contact e-mail that I can find
          • Er, I can't remember others at the moment... The Guardian runs an online blog that may pick up the news from other sites anyway, fwiw.

• DE
  • contact info for lots of German Mac media, provided by apfelwiki.de

• FR
  • MacBidouille -> will be translated and published on HardMac if published
