Coverage from the local Press

I am attaching the e-email that Jon (the reporter from indymedia that was present yesterday at our protest) send at alex.demo.2008@gmail.com and the attached file for the procedure we should follow.

Hi,

I hope you are both good. The protest yesterday was good i thought.

However, the local press is not reporting the issues very well:

http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/Havoc-in-cities-across-Greece.4773233.jp

You should consider writing a press release in advance of this wednesdays
demonstration, and email it to the scotsman and evening news newspapers,
so that you can get some better press coverage. I have attached a file
with some press information that I use for demonstrations, that you might
find useful.

I would recommend sending a press release today, so that it gets used in
2moro's newspapers, and potentially some reporters come to wednesdays
protest.

Ill see you on wednesday!

Solidarity,

Jon

PRESS ACTION.

1. Call up before action to check contact details are correct, they go out of date fairly fast.
2. Press releases best sent night before, to get in next days paper.
3. Call them up to make sure they got it, and to remind them of its existence.
4. If it doesn't get picked up, call them and ask why, so that you can learn.
