Newspaper ad blitz:

The idea proposed here: http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2jfpos/how_about_we_buy_some_ads_in_major_newspapers

This is actually fairly clever and a novel way of getting information out about what GamerGate is actually trying to accomplish. Major cities still have large numbers of readers that purchase papers daily. The sheer volume of people exposed to a well orchestrated ad blitz would be well worth it.

However this isn't simply about getting a message out, it's also a demonstration of sorts. Right now the opposition is desperate to try and paint GamerGate as small fringe element and numerically insignificant. A large ad blitz with bought ads in major papers in major cities would disprove that due to the costs associated with carrying it out. After all we are a group that helped raise 70k for TFYC, this is peanuts next to that. Consumers speak with their wallets and what better way to illustrate those wallets than by shoving this back down the throats of MSM using their very own platforms.

Citing Reuters guidelines to ethical journalism and showing how online journalism has failed at upholding those guidelines would make it crystal clear what is wrong with game journalism. To those saying papers may deny the ads consider a few things. Firstly even if a handful did their competition would likely take the money and run the ads. However let's say they all refuse what then? Then you have an even larger story than the one about games journalists. You have a story involving major media publications refusing adverts that ask for ethical journalism. It would be brand suicide and don't think for a second tabloids wouldn't seize the opportunity to run stories asking what the New York Times is afraid of by denying ads about ethical journalism.
