Hi Joanna,
First, my thoughts are with you and your
family. I hope everyone's ok.
As to your request, I've had several exchanges
with reporters and editors about their blackout,
several of which are documented in the email
archives.
To get you started, please check out:

There, I describe the technique of framing,
and how it's been used. Then, I'd refer you
to the congressional testimony of Mikki Barry
(I believe she's on this list.) Even though
it was an excellent summary of the excesses
of ICANN, and a part of the congressional
record, it was totally ignored by the media.
If after all that, you still want more, I
will dig through my archives and post some
of exchanges from the past.
Jay.
