A cartoonist friend of mine just self-ppublished a collection of his 
works at www.lulu.com, that might be an option to publish. They take 
a percentage I think but they print to order. I ordered 3 of his 
books and it was ordered, printed and shipped and arrived in less than a week.

>>>Here is a free resource  (Fair's Media List) with some

>>>citizen who wants to contact the media rather than PR 
>>>professionals. There's a Heading for radio shows down the page:
>>>http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=111
>>>
>>>Also, this is the site for the PA radio stations. I imagine

>>>http://www.shgresources.com/pa/radio/

>>>Other than Googling, word of mouth and the like, I don't know of 
>>>any way to get a list. When I do mailings, I spend many hours 
>>>putting together the information. You should also be aware that 
>>>not every station is listed. Also, are you looking for on air only 
>>>or internet radio talk shows as well? What are you trying to do? 
>>>Perhaps monitoring journalist query lists like HARO, Reporter 
>>>Connection and Pitch Rate -- all of which are free and come as 
>>>daily  e-mails -- would help.
