PRESS AND INTERNATIONAL (MAINSTREAM) MEDIA FACILITATION
Draft
Proposal 15 -10-10
Framework
After the WSF 2011 in Dakar (Senegal) the role of the group is to facilitate the visibility of the regional/thematic events of the WSF network, connecting local committees with media mainstream and trying to raise attention about the promoted issues through the general public.
Objectives
We
don’t have in the moment we draft the media group proposal a
detailed 2011 WSF plan of events to promote as in 2010 WSF. What we
experienced last year is a general difficulty for media mainstream to
understand the WSF decentralized project felt as an evidence of the
weakness of the altermondialist movement.
What we’ll try to
realize during the year is:
- Trying to fix this lack of
understanding of media mainstream through regular updates about the
WSF process
- Facilitate the coverage of the WSF2011 events
creating and offering dedicated contents in WSF info website
-
Cultivate media relations at the international level
- Support
local WSF organising committees in media relations with media
mainstream
