Well if you'd like, I could probably put you in contact with a few 
reporter types from the Minnesota Daily (U of M's newspaper). 
Many (not all) of them are pretty clueless about computers 
though...

Many computer-related stories are pretty butchered by the 
reporters here, but in this case maybe the local techie types could 
help get something published. In fact I'm almost positive that I 
could get something published in the "Daily Bytes" for you. 
(http://www.mndaily.com/bytes/ -the online-only part of the Daily).

A nice big fat letter to the editor also has a good chance of getting 
published.

I have connections (no pun intended) in that area too ;)

Sorry I'm a little slow replying to this. I'm on the digest, because I 
jsut can't handle Novell's "new message" pop up window constantly 
annoying me.
