[Cc-webedit] Climate Camp TV embed

[iggyp imc]

Hi,
I'm a little worried about this TV channel, as it seems to be morphing into
a bigger and bigger beast every time i hear about it. I have seen in the
past with other media projects associated with the camp that people aim high
but fail to have realistic expectations.

It does sound great, but we need to remember that we are a grass roots
activist network, and that using mainstream media is something we should be
avoiding...so i would not be happy with us using services such as youtube,
google video etc....

Also, I'm wondering how the TV crew fit in with the media team? Surely this
has the potential to go 'off message' very badly.

My other main concern is that of electricity. There are major restrictions
and much competition for power on site this year. I've seen the amount that
vision TV have asked for, and they are unlikely to get what they have asked
for. Does this project include using the same space as the 'vision tv'
people? If not, then it is even more worrying.

Also, we are the Camp for Climate Action; the 'Climate Camp' is just an
event.

Thanks
Iggy.

ps : who is Simon?
