LA Times
Please e-mail the LA Times and request that they cover the story. Tell them about why you're writing, about the campaign "Dollars for Sense," about how the little people are standing up to the corporation on behalf of a much loved character. Tell them that CBS doesn't seem to want to hold onto Jorja Fox whose character's story of life and death snagged CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 25 million viewers for the premiere, and that CSI won the ratings war for premiere week, managing to pummel the much younger-in-its-run Grey's Anatomy.
