Journalists don't have short attention spans. They have DEADLINES, with
the <br>
emphasis on DEAD. If it's not done at a certain time, it doesn't
run.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Also, most
are writing NEWS, which means the story has to be something<br>
NEW. So, you need to talk to them while the story is NEW, at least to
them.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>And, yes,
it is always a good idea to say, "I'm not really the best<br>
person to talk about that. Let me put you through to (Kate, Andrew or
Pierre).<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>If you
follow those simple pinciples, we won't miss out on press
coverage.<br><br>

Would this be in line with HOT guidelines? Does anybody need to issue a
"permission"? <br>
<br>

or news <br>
organisation contacts us through info@hotosm.org asking for a HOT
representative. <br>
As they're asking you, I guess it's less important to get the right
person, but in <br>
general it's obviously good to put forward people who are very involved
and <br>
can give a good interview. I think the best thing would be a Serbian
national who <br>
is (at least a little bit) involved. (You actually don't have to know all
the ins and <br>
outs of the Ebola activation, to be able to answer basic questions from
journalists <br>
about OpenStreetMap) <br>
<br>
Anyone Serbians available? <br>

<br>

probably quite <br>
reachable for an interview over Skype. And Andrew Buck is an activation
co-ordinator, <br>
of course. As native English speakers these people would tend to give
good interviews. <br>
<br>

<br>

If they give you a <br>
number to ring, ring it! Journalists are impatient and have short
attention spans. They <br>
will have forgotten all about it tomorrow. I failed to follow my own tip
recently. Missed <br>
out on a BBC radio appearance because I didn't respond to an email until
four hours later. <br>
