discussion] Re: Update from IPS + SHAREDCOM MEETING proposal - Feb 5
Dear Abdullah,
thanks for this update - it sounds really great!
This effort to join forces will certainly be fruitful.
Can we think of a meeting of the "shared communication initiatives" and
press activities on the 5th of February? At the media center, around
lunch time?
Who could / would be present?
cheers,
Jason

Dear friends,
Hope you are energised and ready for
a great event?
Below is a small update from Inter Press Service,
following our fundraising and collaboration efforts:
* The IPS
TerraViva WEBSITE is now active, http://www.ips.org/TV/wsf which will host the latest news,
features, interviews and images from Dakar.
* IPS will be producing
MULTI-LINGUAL POSTERS of TerraViva (size 40 x 60 cm) every day with French,
Arabic, English Swahili stories included.
* IPS and Flamme have
agreed to SHARE CONTENT produced by the respective teams, for publication in
print and to be circulated across various networks.
* IPS is speaking
to e-joussor to make ARABIC CONTENT available for publication in TerraViva
(online and poster editions)
* A joint TRAINING WORKSHOP for selected
journalists on 3-4 February is being organised by the Panos and Amarc
teams, as IPS does not have an office or resources in Dakar.
* Three
IPS REPORTERS from Senegal will provide daily coverage of the WSF and their
reports will be published online.
* IPS Director General Mario
Lubetkin will be participating in three SIDE EVENT seminars. Additional
joint events may be confirmed in the next few days, such as a proposed
'Media Rountable' discussion.
* IPS will be producing a tabloid size
TerraViva newsletter IN PORTUGUESE language, for distribution on the final
day, as the South American sponsors specifically requested Portuguese
language material at the WSF.
* Out team is looking forward to
working with other communications organisations that seek to promote the
messages of the Forum, such as AMARC, CIRANDA, AMANDLA, WSF TV, SACSIS,
Pambazuka, CIVICUS, e-Joussour, etc, etc
See you
soon,
