A lot of folks in the #PS4NoDRM thread have been trying to get people to reach out to journalists, publishers, and everyone else to spread awareness: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=568033&page=148
EDIT: TO CLARIFY, there have been multiple podcasts and articles speaking generally about used games on IGN and Giantbomb, but nothing that speaks specifically to the community reaching out directly to Sony, Microsoft, and publishers to make their concerns known. There is a huge list of international publications that have specifically reported on the communal effort. Over 170 different outlets have reported specifically on the #PS4NoDRM and #XBoxOneNoDRM issues.
Maybe there will be an IGN article soon:
Fans Air Concerns about New Playstation, XBox

At Sony's event announcing the PlayStation 4, they showed off many new features for games and home entertainment. However, fans are now similarly clamoring for details into the company's plans for digital rights management and the impact it will have on playing used games.
The company hasn't said, but that hasn't stopped a preventative movement of gamers who have taken to forum threads and Twitter, where they're using the hashtags #PS4NoDRM and #PS4UsedGames to reach out to Sony executives.
