    What's the best / fastest method for having a news story go live where it will get picked up by print media (Newspapers) and Radio / TV in North America?

    costs?

    Is there a service / company who will handle this for you and is affordable?

    Thanks in advance!

    You need to have something that sets you apart.

    Such as "famous website owned by a 15 year old".
    "website shows exclusive pictures of Britney pregnant"

    That's what the media wants.

    They'll pay to get an interview with you or exchange it for showing your domain during the interview.

    First of all, do you own the .com TLD?

    You are very right gocubs. Getting your news story in natural process is one in a billion chance.
    I heard some people try writing a newsworthy story, then fax/email them to bunch of newspapers. Targeting local newspapers give better results. In that case you may wanna tweak your story to give it some local vibe.
    Also Google got newspaper advertising called "Print advertising" if you wanna try.

    Thanks for all the information.

    PS Woods it's a generic word.. The .com doesn't work for us and it's a parked page :)

    Parking = wasted.
