I suspect we need to build up the UK press corps again. The call comes maybe every 1-2 years, but when it happens we need people. So if you see an email come by, you can *SPRING* into action and represent editors on the BBC ...
Last night's Newsnight didnt happen, because the Daily Mail bottled it. Possibly because Alastair Campbell offered to speak up on our behalf, ahem. I'm regretting I couldn't make it now ...
So! Who thinks they could do well off the cuff about the view of Wikipedia editors? I think Lucy would like all your names :-)

I did some live telly in 2009: see transcript https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Charles_Matthews/Interview
Newsnight being rather late in the day if you want to get a train back to Cambridge, this was early evening.
As I recall, getting prepped was serious business, but paid off. If there is something you want to put across, or even more if you aim to "turn the tables" by deflecting the argument, you are not going to be successful just spontaneously. What I said about "come back in a year’s time" was something I intended to get in.
But then, I wasn't dealing with an interlocutor advocating solely for the other side. The Beeb's folk are not so hard to deal with.

Now I'm no longer on the board I'm probably a more useful potential spokesperson (though still mildly terrified of the whole concept ;) )

I'm always happy to do this, but would have wanted more briefing than would been available after the DM stuff 'hit' for Newsnight - I wouldn't have had time to read through the WP thread. Having said that I have done the charity's media training plus had a fair amount of experience anyway.
However, it is better to have london-centric people if possible for the big stories.
