People I need to contact

  • Newspaper people for access to analytics
    -The more the merrier (and essential here).
    -Getting all the UK nationals to let me look at bits of their web stats would be amazing but isn’t all that likely, regardless of my being able to present that data in a way that wouldn’t divulge individual publications’ stats. For them, we rely on Alexa and try very hard to get luck with one or more. 
    -Contact amateur news producers above a certain threshold of readership.
    -Contact admins at social news services like Reddit and Digg
    -Contact admins at aggregators and post-moderators - i.e. Drudge, Slashdot, HuffPo if possible
  • Analytics people to help with that side
    -Much like the Internet, web analytics are something that no one sees all of. Consulting analytics specialists at Google, newspapers who have analytics staff, etc will be advisable early in the process
  • Web/Graphic Design people
    -To make thinking on effective and useful design tags clearer.
