It leaves media team where our discussion in the last media team meeting left us (relevant part copied and pasted below)<br><a href="https://we.riseup.net/cc_media/minutes-20-june-2010" target="_blank">https://we.riseup.net/cc_media/minutes-20-june-2010</a><br>
<br>Yes the media team is about corporate press liason, simply because someone needs to do it, and that's us.<br>If there were 30 people in the team, at least half of whom were up for doing independent media, then we could be part of the same team.<br>
<br>Natalie and others are contacting media collectives, finding out who's intending to come anyway, finding out where our gaps are etc, and I'm sure there'll also be a call out at the Edin gathering. Even though<br>
<br>As for tech needs, yes they are irrelevant for corp press liason as we only need two computers for that, and we've got that sorted.<br>We will surely need to sort a documentation team, but I think ths simple thing is that it's not for the media list and team.<br>

I don't want to confuse things which are already confused but the camp<br>
media working group appear to have decided that alt media is not within<br>
their remit. Therefore the offer from northern indymedia is irrelevant to<br>
the tech needs of the media team which will only be working on corporate<br>
media relations. Likewise, the needs of the social media working group are<br>
unlikely to be catered for by indymedia provision (probably unhappy to<br>
provide equipment for updating facebook etc) which is why the broader 'be<br>
the media' concept was developed within the context and processes of the<br>
climate camp itself.<br>
<br>
I don't know were this leaves the camp really - perhaps back to the days<br>
of the first two camps where some indymedia provision was set up<br>
independently of camp processes and therefore with very little<br>
integration. Perhaps that's not such a bad thing as collaboration between<br>
northern indymedia and imc scotland would be useful in it's own right<br>
regardless of camp needs. As long as the need for co-operation and<br>
collaboration is considered in designing information and communication<br>
working flows then perhaps it is ok to outsource alt media provision now<br>
there appears to be such low capacity or interest from within the camp<br>
itself.<br>
