Hi Barrett, sorry for the slow reply -- back from the tour now, though still distracted by interviews and a few local events.  Just printed out the manuscript and will start digging in tonight.  I'll be in touch as soon as I'm done reading, and would like to help get the word out anyway I can -- getting people to approach the news more critically has become almost a personal mission for me.  In which regard, I'd love to hear more about Project PM.  

Cheers,
Barry

Barry-

Thanks again for your help. I have just received the final manuscript for the book, which I have attached here. The last chapter alludes to Project PM, which I would love to have you involved in some capacity (and which would require no time commitment on your part while also giving you influence over our organization,which is composed of of some 150 people including Michael Hastings, the head of theoretical physics at Case Western, philanthropists, a former editorial board member of the Washington Post, and people of similarly diverse and useful backgrounds. We are growing extraordinarily quickly now. Let me know if you'd like me to send you a short summary of our main media reform effort.

Hi Barrett, I'd love a sneak peek, and email is fine if that works for you.  Will do what I can to get the word out -- getting people to recognize pseudo-journalism and embrace real journalism has become a mission of mine, one I'm trying to use my novels and whatever platform I have as a novelist to advance.

Best,
Barry

Hi, Barry-

Thanks for the note and for Twittering my article or Tweeting it or whatever. I'll have the publisher get you a review copy of the upcoming book as well, or will e-mail the manuscript if you prefer. Let me know.

Barrett, I just read your scathing, hilarious, devastating VF piece.  Can't wait for Hot, Fat, and Clouded, which sounds right up my alley, and will do what I can to help get the word out about it.

Cheers,
