Added new Journalism - section Farhad will wordsmith and language about
producing major media campaigns to influence mainstream media



Process discussion on how to other working groups submit media needs

idea - web form

where would it go - go to the external list

having a web form

keep the form simple

fields -

potential action item - Farhad tech side of the web form

press release - gunner format

blog post

calendar items



Structure for writing, copy editing, posting

- current loose system - bouncing around the list

- in theory getting buy in from the list is nice idea - but if it not
happening we should have system



*NEW System:*

*- Rule of 2 – 1 writer, 1 copy editor - for blog posting for events *

*- Rule of 3 for hotter items - bigger issues/press release items include a
final check - 1 writer, 1 copy editor, 1 other media person/copy
editor/and/ororiginator of request*



*Amplify-other OB media work*

- OB radio and OB TV don't need regular vetting process

posted to all our regular places - cross promotion

- Have all the other media cross promoting with OB media

- OB radio - fill with schedule with button and OB radio will send it to us
directly any special guests etc...

- OB TV update them on this process



*Discussion*

About draft internal memo – regarding last Sunday’s GA and post situation

Assumptions made by others that media was in control of the entire blog and
FB, but media was not in control of the passed proposal being posted by a
non-media person whose partner was the proposer of the proposal that passed



Opportunity for us to learn – having so many non-media people admin on
blog, FB, twitter, calendar is response to backlash for having too much
control when we were in the early days of Dewey, so we have handed it over
to others now we have way to many non-media people having control, we
should take a look at reeling in amount of people who have access, 1)
because of the way of it was handled, 2) so we can put some processes in
place for consistency



Concerns raised:

·      Can we audit how many people have access to blog and facebook

·      It is too easy for people to autonomously but on the blog



Draft memo critique:

It makes it look media is apologizing for the whole situation - but the
pains we were going through



It diminishes the media working group



We will not support the statement - Farhad will take point on drafting
statement about we did not post that - it was not media - in control of the
situation - it was a non-media person



Discussion:

 We should take action on gaining back control of the blog and who is
posting - we need to come up with a system to make this happen

Continue the discussion about the blog posting access



Women's Caucus - is going to go to mainstream media



Another item - tomorrow night at GA - french newspaper and german papers
coming to GA - Liam will email the external list and guide people to orgs -
focus people who went to NH,
