Re: [Wikipedia-AS] [Wikimediaindia-l] [Press]: Lessons and tips on getting media coverage
by Jyoti Prakash Nath 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Dear Wikipedians, Apologies for my previous mail that was sent by mistake. Here are some additional news from Assamese Wiki. # 93.5 Red FM broadcasted an interview on Monday 11/06/12 (from 8 AM to 9 AM) with a Wikipedian Jyoti Prakash Nath about the 10th anniversary celebration program. # Dy365 (TV News Channel) broadcasted an interview on Sunday 10/06/12 and Monday 11/06/12 (at 6 PM evening news) with a Wikipedian Bishnu Saikia about the 10th anniversary celebration program. But this is very shameful for the Assamese print media because none of the Local news paper (Except Edinor Songbad) didn't published the news, even their reporters was also present at the event. Also the famous TV news channel "News Live" didn't visited the event.

We at CIS are working with Vishnu and the rest of the A2K team to ensure smooth transition so that the momentum of the A2K program does not lose pace. We will soon be putting out an Advertisement for the next CIS-A2K Program Director and will involve the community members and the Wikimedia India in the selection process.
