hello - i think a pre cop blog is a good idea. we have a press release that is vaguely ready for when paul piece does come to light...sophia was in touch with him and he had said last week...sophia - would you be able to follow up again? and then we can have a blog piece that updates the information to go with the guardian piece and the press release that is on crab grass for those of you that want to input...<br><br>> Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:04:04 +0000<br>> From: edr22@cam.ac.uk<br>> To: j@jonathanleighton.com<br>> CC: cc-webedit@lists.aktivix.org; mediateam@lists.riseup.net; jjjstevenson@fastmail.fm; muppet317@hotmail.com; letyourlifesing@riseup.net<br>> Subject: Re: [mediateam] Re: [Cc-webedit] "Injured" policeman peice<br>> <br>> I agree that we should update the information with a new blog asap.<br>> <br>> but first of all we need to find out if paul lewis is going to run the<br>> story, and when.<br>> <br>> If he is not, then we can create the story ourselves by issuing a<br>> press release to all major media outlets, writing a blog etc. with<br>> footage edited like the Emily James video post-G20, forcing the press<br>> to use a film that shows a more complete story of the swoop than just<br>> that incident - I think it would get pick-up without him if we do have<br>> the hard evidence (does Paul Lewis have more info than us???)<br>> <br>> If he is going to run it, then we should probably hold off (depending<br>> on the length of time until he releases the story), as I think he will<br>> write a strong piece and there is more chance of it gaining currency<br>> with it already printed in the guardian.<br>> <br>> Time-wise though, I think a pre-copenhagen release of this story is<br>> desirable, with or without paul lewis - the G20 expose happened very<br>> rapidly after the G20 and I think post-copenhagen it will lose any<br>> momentum it still has.<br>> <br>> Can anyone get in contact with him?<br>> <br>> Elly<br>> <br>> 2009/11/17 Jon Leighton <j@jonathanleighton.com>:<br>> > I have moderately strong reservations about taking it down.
