Regional Papers are not being utilised by NO campaigns After talking to a many people from different parts of the country, it seems that absolutely no campaigning is being carried out in some areas. This situation could be somewhat alleviated by sending in articles, press releases or even letters to regional papers, or making use of free papers such as the Northside people here in Dublin which has a circulation of around 200,000 houses. A number of years ago a non party group called “Youth Against Maastricht” hired a bus at their own expense and travelled all around the country making progressive arguments, using loudhailers and handing out thousands of leaflets explaining reactionary EU policies on many issues including militarism, unemployment and the 3rd world in many small towns where these voices would not otherwise be heard. From accounts at the time they had a good response and made an impact. What is missing this time out is that kind of imagination and energy that comes with youth. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6something needs to be done besides rambling off for the weekend down the country, whats needed is leafleting and talking to people all around the country if we are to hand Brusells its second defeat.
Is this the same person posting all of these complaints?
Again sending press releases in to regional paper is something that is already been done (at least by LAN). All the press releases at http://struggle.ws/ireland/nice/pressrelease.html have gone to over 35 regional media (as well as 20 plus national). Two comments on this
1. Perhaps if the people making the complaints above were actually involved in campaigning rather then telling others how to do it they would already be aware of this?
2. The problem is that the media are simply refusing to cover a lot of the No side. What coverage they give concentrates on the Nasty No, eg the Irish Times giving quater of a page to the one woman and a dog ICP. This isn't that surprising as the media is owned and controlled by the state or corporations or (in the case of the IT) a board drawn from the most priveleged sections of Irish society.
post them here and I'll compile with stuff I have access to tomorrow and put at top newswire
