[Imc-birmingham] Press Query - Films season

[Max Simpson]

The decision about crediting quotes won't be the journo's decision - it'll be an editorial rule. I know Chris and he's a good bloke and worth sending stuff to IMO. The reason it was short notice was 'cos he asked to get in touch whilst I was away and the mac PR didn't know how to contact Indymedia.

Oops looks like this one passed us by.

I was feeling a bit hesitant about answering all those questions. Why do 
mainstream journos need to attibute these things in this way? Perhaps we 
could have collectively 'answered' them by pointing him to 
articles/features we and other people have written? For instance i was 
thinking about directing him to the http://docs.indymedia.org page on 
research questions or maqui's report on the imc at climate camp. Dunno 
how people would react to being answered by articles.

Indymedia at the Camp for Climate Action 2006: Report & Personal View:

Perhaps we need to be more prepared for this kinda thing in the future, 
mind you we didn't get much notice ;)

btw maybe he's up for covering other stuff, like our future events. Is 
this a good thing do you reckon?
