Hello,<br><br>I can say that we are still not 100% what happened in NL. There is no one consistent article with time table. Maybe more newspaper style like article. Its vary hard to translate blog post with a lot of individual referneces and personal thoughts. I am not saying it is not important - it valube source of information but int is hard for us to sell it to public - it is good for our onw purposes incide PP. <br>
<br>Any has some more condence description of the case?<br><br>BR,<br>Blazej<br>PP Poland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/9 Nicolas Sahlqvist <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nicco77@gmail.com">nicco77@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">With "flood" I do not mean to send the same message several times (I mean unique press releases to several newspapers at once) and I do not suggest that one should change a working communication with the press. The "flooding" may work for a country where press releases are not yet established, but it does need some thought and adaption to each country and there circumstances. It is of course preferred to use the country PP mail as sender and hope that media is not flagging it as spam.<div>
<br></div><div>Besides having channels to communicate with old style press, there is of course a point in having activists blogging, this worked very well in Sweden where even portals such as <a href="http://live.piratpartiet.se" target="_blank">live.piratpartiet.se</a> proven to be a very valuable source of information for members, press etc. This also gets indexed by search engines so a search in Google etc. will catch peoples (interested people that may become or already are members / activists for us and press etc.) eye over time.<br>
<br></div><div>I hope my message is more clear now.</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>- Nicolas</div></font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 9:40 PM, Pasi Palmulehto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scoffer@kofeiini.riippuvuus.net" target="_blank">scoffer@kofeiini.riippuvuus.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

relationship to press in your country, but at least in Finland we have a<br>
good relationship with the press. They call me minimum once a week, they<br>
love to write and show us pretty much (more than every other<br>
not-in-the-parliament partys together, many times). Such actions would<br>
only destroy that relationship and we could be sure our press releases<br>
wouldn't carry so much articles as now. We post press releases once for<br>
all and have couple dozen press releases per year at the moment. We<br>
usually get attention just by sending them :)<br>
<br>
If there's no response for press release, you just need to suck it up<br>
and maybe try to bring it up somehow else. Most important is to keep<br>
sending the press releases, but I disagree on sending same PR more than<br>
once.<br>
