press concept

  • There‘s no press group with a mandate (leap of faith), because we don‘t think it‘s possible for a small group to speak for 10.000 people
  • As press group of the preparation group we communicate as good as possible, that in general theres no common press work in the camp and no single person speaks for everyone
  • we ask individual groups (barrios, affinity groups…) to do their own press work. They are asked to make clear that they‘re only speaking for themselves
  • If a group decides they want to speak in the name of the whole camp, they have to get the content pass the Deligate-Plenary, even though that‘s gonna take more time
  • If a group decides they want to be the constant press group of the camp with a mandate they have to ask the delegate plenary
  • We‘re gonna have open meetings for all camp participants on a regular basis to discuss and connect press work. It also can be used for skill sharing. If wanted people can join to write reports of the current day or write answers to police accusations / actions
  • After each of these meetings we invite journalists to an open press meeting. It will be next to the camp area. All participants are invited to go there if they want to give interviews.
  • Because of privacy and security reasons we ask journalists to not enter the camp area
  • We don‘t want pictures or videos taken on the camp area (by no one)
  • All participants are asked to adress journalists who enter the area and ask them to leave the camp
