All 200 reporters on our list will be directed to the press release this morning.

I decided to post it on the site rather than send it as an attachment:

Nice!

Content suggestions:

1) For those who might not have heard of our plane stunt at all, expound a bit-

"On May 9, 2006, fans of ‘Veronica Mars’ hired a plane to fly a banner supporting renewal over the UPN offices..."

2) I would actually move what is now the 3rd paragraph up, so that "...but not many publications reported on the real core of the fan campaign: the VM DVD Drive for Libraries." is followed by, "As of August 22, 2006, the day Season Two of ‘Veronica Mars’ comes out on DVD, fans have donated over 400..."

It seems like a natural segue. You could still put the map after that paragraph. Then follow the map with...

3)What's now the 2nd paragraph. It seems a bit run on sentency or something. Maybe reword a tad to make it more succinct? -

"‘Veronica Mars’ creator Rob Thomas began his career as a Young Adult fiction writer, so public libraries were a natural choice when fans decided to work on gaining new viewers for 'Mars'. By donating to public libraries, fans have been able to support a worthy cause while also introducing their favorite show to anyone with a library card."

The rest seems good to me!

Oh, and maybe put quotation marks around the librarian quotes, just to help avoid the confusion that was mentioned above. That or indent on either side of the quotes. :-)

I like that!
